Wow, this is exactly what we are dealing with here in the US.

The trade schools are closing due to lack of interest.

The high school graduates are not interested in jobs that you get dirty doing or might be outside of a building in the elements.

We are in a slow down now but when the economy was booming we had to come up with a lot of incentives to get enough workers.

Being short sighted I could say "great more pay for me" but with a little thought it is easy to see that this will case less building to be done.

People will not be able to afford to pay for construction with all the trades demanding so much money.
