Wow, what a different market you live in, it must be nice.
The local here is lucky to get one qualified applicant and the contractors do most of the recruiting; we find them and send them in to get organized. Some of us even run our own code study and math classes to help out the intermediate journeymen, and other young men that have potential.
I remember when it was a country club and you had to know somebody to get in, but it seems like most young men are not interested in construction any more. The plumbers definitely have it worse; it’s not unusual to see whole plumbing crews with no one under 40 years old.
Just something to think about, the market may be working for you now, but one day the same people who you might think unqualified now, could look pretty good if the labor market changes for you.
When I was young man they union turned me away, now the count on me for work…its funny how things work out sometimes.
