With new construction projects going up throughout California, the state is under immense pressure to find new construction workers in the building trades. Employment projections remain strong with the $37 billion in infrastructure bonds and $2 billion per year in transportation funding that were approved by California voters in November 2006 along with 10 counties approving sales tax increases for another $15 billion to improve transportation infrastructure. With this construction work in the pipeline over the next 10 years, the estimated need for 144,000 new construction workers may be conservative.
