The president of the association representing the provincial construction sector blames high living costs, low housing affordability and better opportunities elsewhere for the loss of construction workers in B.C.
He made these comments as BCCA released a slate of new statistics that paint a mixed picture of an industry that contributes 10.3 per cent to the provincial GDP and employs 218,000 people, the most of any goods-producing sector in B.C. Atchison said government could help the industry by introducing prompt-payment legislation in repeating a long-stand demand.
The latest statistics, however, also include some positive trends. According to BCCA figures, the industry will be short 6,000 workers by 2032, an improvement over past years.
