Study: Unions Solution to Projected Worker Shortfall

An Indiana University study finds that union apprenticeships could satisfy a shortfall of construction workers projected in the state in a different study released earlier.

The 22-page IU study, "Analysis of Construction Industry Apprenticeship Programs in Indiana," was issued in July by the university's Institute for the Study of Labor in Society.

The report comes on the heels of a prior study from the Indiana Construction Roundtable that found the state will face construction worker shortages over the coming years due to a predicted construction boom.
