ployees it needs.
“Labor supply won’t improve
until we have a viable guest
worker program,” he said. “The
tone of the administration and
the approaching midterm elec-

for that.”
Builders in South Texas who
are scrambling to repair or re-
place thousands of Hurricane
Harvey-damaged homes say they
can’t get the workers needed.
“Before the hurricane came,
we were already experiencing a
labor shortage, particularly in
skilled labor,” said Dan Bawden,

ders started almost 34,000
homes.
The construction total would
have been even greater if builders
could have rounded up more
workers. The labor shortage
that’s hammered the U.S. hous-
ing industry continues to be one
ofthe biggest worries for builders.
‘We are 20,000 construction
workers short in D-FW despite
wages rising 35 percent for most
needed trades,” said Phil Crone,
head of the Dallas Builders As-
sociation. “I only see the short-
age easing if the demand eases, I
don’t see that occurring in an
impactful way.
“More than 92 percent of our
members cite the lack of labor as
having a significant impact on
their business,” Crone said. “In
most cases that’s adding a
month and more than $5,000
to every home built in our area.”
Homebuilders have strug-
gled to get labor since the reces-
sion when more than 2 million
workers left the industry. Devas-
tating hurricanes in South Tex-
as, Florida and Puerto Rico in
2017 have put further strain on
the building job pool.

young people to the business.
“The labor shortage is the
most important constrain on the
building market,” builders’ chief
economist Robert Deitz said
speaking this week at the Inter-

home starts in North Texas by 15
percent in 2017, compared to the
nationwide single-family home
start rise of 9 percent.
“But labor is still a big issue
for our builders and is limiting
construction,” Wilson said.
Attracting young workers into
the business is a priority for the
National Association of Home
Builders, which estimates there

Homebuilders are hoping to
attract more women into the
building trades and construc-

percent of U.S. construction in-
dustry employees are female.
“Eighty percent of construc-
tion businesses are having a
hard time finding skilled labor,”
said Juli Bacon, a Washington-
based human resources consul-
tant who works with builders.
“There are a lot ofwomen out
there that would be great for the
building industry,” Bacon said.
“There is a great opportunity for
construction.”
