🇺🇸GAVIN'S GRANDIOSE VISIONS HALTED BY LABOR SHORTAGE: THE UNBUILT DREAM OF LA'S RECOVERY

In the aftermath of the January 2025 LA wildfires, the dream of rapid reconstruction faces a stark reality: a dire construction worker shortage. 

With the US needing over 501,000 new workers in 2024, the labor market in LA is strained, with wages around $41,351 signaling the scarcity.

 Aging workers, fewer new entrants, and economic shifts exacerbate the issue. 

The idea of rebuilding or new projects is as unrealistic as a $2.7 billion dam that's still unbuilt after a decade. 

The construction industry's efforts to attract workers won't quickly bridge this gap, leaving recovery dreams in limbo.
