DESCRIPTION
People who live and work in buildings will always need electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs and all of the other people who bring light and water and comfort to their world. Right now there just aren’t enough people doing those jobs, and as they retire, there aren’t enough new people coming in. As a result, trade professionals are some of the most sought after applicants in North America. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says the United States needs 75,000 more electrical workers than it currently has! If you want a job, you can find one. How many degrees can say that?TRANSCRIPT
