I am a plumbing contractor, I am seeing a lot of new projects fall through in the past few months. A drywall contractor i know does about 180 houses a year, only has 10 bids out right now. What is everyone else seeing in their markets? Also, im always open to give plumbing advice for any frens that need it :)

I can only say what I've heard of so far.
Gov. DeSantis in Florida said he has houses to be built in Florida and no one to build them. He said the state has had too many illegals working and now Guatemalans are here and have been pulled off of jobs and framing redone in some homes. (Roofing too)
DeSantis stated no one knows how to build homes anymore, not at the rate needed.
So he went to our Trade and Tech schools and got contracting accredited. He announced to anyone who wants to learn after approximately 18 months of school they can earn $100,000 a year!
"I have houses to be built here and no one to build them."
Enter soy boys who only know how to use their thumbs therefore cannot hold a hammer. This schitt is everywhere !
Plumbers make good money too and are always in need! HVAC too!
Go to trade school ....
There is an insane shortage of workers. Needless to say, job security is not too much of a concern of mine...
