Ep.105: Solving the Skilled Labor Crisis with Clayton DeKorne
For the last decade (pre-COVID), the demand and lack of skilled labor may have slowed production and increased housing costs more than any other factor.

here and help us avoid repeating past mistakes.
In this episode, Tim and Steve welcome Clayton DeKorne to the show to explore this topic further. Clayton is Chief Editor of the JLC Group for Hanley Wood, LLC. Clayton has been with JLC since it’s “early days” in 1988, joined Hanley Wood when JLC was acquired, and also was the founding education director for the JLC Live series of events held annually around the country.
Tim, Steve and Clayton address the skilled labor issue,

- How our colonial history can possibly transform the state of the industry today.
- How income plays a role in how some choose a profession.
- And more…
