Which construction trade has the oldest workforce right now?
I’ve been hearing a lot about the aging workforce in construction and how a lot of guys are retiring soon.
In your experience, which trade actually has the **oldest average workers right now**?
And why do you think young people aren’t replacing them fast enough? Is it the licensing process, lack of awareness, physical demands, unions controlling entry, or the industry relying more on immigrant labour instead of training younger local workers?
I’m in the Toronto but curious how it looks across North America.
Personally, on a lot of sites it seems like many of the skilled guys are **45–60+**, and there aren't many younger apprentices around compared to what you’d expect.
Curious what others are seeing on job sites.
