@aaron_witt: This week on the Dirt Talk Podcast, Randy Blount (a fan favorite) and I talk about workforce development and the state of the industry. As pressure mounts to complete work on time and keep up with enormous backlogs, contractors are at risk of only worsening their workforce problem. #fyp #construction #constructionlife #constructiontiktok #constructiontips

The thing that I picked up on is the management isn’t keeping up with the times. They want more work done with less people with continuous budget cuts
