Shortage of qualified workers pushes average annual wage to just short of $75,000

British Columbia’s construction industry says its workforce numbers have improved in recent years, but labour shortages persist and are putting “extreme pressures” on employers.

The association says the average entry-level wage for construction workers is now at more than $22 an hour, 25 per cent above minimum wage in the province. Atchison says the industry still saw the number of trades workers drop by 7 per cent over the last five years to 167,300, and the average construction company in the province has seen its size contract by 15 per cent during that time.
