The construction industry has had an age and experience gap for numerous years, and much of that is attributed to the actions (or inactions) of the industry itself. ANY attempt to "solve" this issue with a visa is NOT the answer; robust apprenticeships and intentional investment into the next generation is. I am adamantly opposed to ALL visas proposed for the construction industry.Here are the two articles I referenced in the podcast episode:Construction dive: https://www.constructiondive.com/news/bill-proposes-construction-visa-immigrant-employment/801832/Market place: https://www.marketplace.org/story/2025/06/06/labor-force-participation-dropped-in-may-jobs-report-shows Here are some important bits of information about me: The Wealthy Ironworker Union Made Merch (from my friends at Stars & Stripes): https://www.thewealthyironworker.com/merch/ Start and Stripes info: https://www.stars-stripes-promotional-products.com/ You can follow me on some platforms 👇 Website: https://www.thewealthyironworker.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/thewealthyironworker/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewealthyironworker Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewealthyironworker/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/wealthyironwrkr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/the-wealthy-ironworker-292487200/
