Skilled Tradesmen Shortage? Skip College and Learn a Trade

Skilled Tradesmen Shortage

There continues to be an overall skilled tradesmen shortage in America or skills gap. While getting your 4-year college degree seems to be “all the rage”, the latest findings from the Bureau of Labor & Statistics show that skilled trades such as welders and electricians once again top the latest list of the most difficult-to-fill job openings. According to the BLS, the median annual wage for all construction and extraction occupations was $47,430 in May 2019. That surpasses the median annual wage for all occupations ($39,810) by $7,620. That’s around a 20% increase.
