Easier to go to a safe place at the orangedouchebag's rallys and blame the beaners.

What a load of bullshit. The construction industry goes through the same boom and bust cycle time after time. The industry crashes and people bail out. Then when the upturn happens there is a shortage of people. That's what the article says.
The exact same thing happens in the oil patch and other cyclical fields.

These Liberals are first class retards. There's no White guys doing construction because most can't afford to raise a family from "The Back" of the truck.
And they aren't driving the truck to the jobsite managing their own jobs. Liberals have placed enough regulations on everything so that the only people who can afford the cost of the business are the Oligarchs who have the monopoly contracts in your town. You ride in the back of his trucks in his fleet.
Less you've got $10 grand for the EPA license, and $20 Grand to get bonded, and a city councilman on the take for all new bids.
It's all part of what is sexy when a guy like Trump says Make America again.
It's a dog whistle for us, we know damned well what Trump is talking about.

Does this have anything to do with Trump using undocumented polish workers for construction ?

how does one get undocumented Polish workers? Did they come over the Candaian Polish border or the Mexican Polish border?
Why in the hell isn't your President doing his job, there shouldn't be undoccumented workers.
This brings us right back to Trump.
Your blaming Trump for drinking the tainted water Obama served everyone.
That's what's great about Trump he doesn't complain. He takes what is given to him and tries to make it work. And he's done a hell of a job, he's just as tired as we are of being taken for a ride by the Liberals.

We have been in a housing recovery for quite some time now. You would think the industry would get their act together, and start training new recruits. We need more housing.

Exactly. If you need people, train them.
Or pay more, they will come. But apparently this industry would rather keep profits from record house prices and pay at latinos rate.
This is exactly the problem with this country.

Yet somehow some people expect Americans to take back-breaking farm jobs for less than $60k/yr. Go figure.
Construction is a cake walk compare to picking strawberries.

The brown horde is taking all your jobs and robbing you of your cultural superiority. Taco trucks on every corner.

"GUARANTEED WORK, FEW TAKERS
Colorado alone will need 30,000 more workers in the construction field in the next six years, a number that does not account for those who will retire, according to a study by the Association of General Contractors.
The association estimates that there are approximately 200,000 unfilled construction jobs in the U.S. - a jump of 81 percent in the last two years. Private companies say that they are having a hard time attracting workers, and they are often forced to give employees on-the-spot raises to prevent them from going to competitors. Carpenters and electricians are often listed as the most in-demand specialties.
"The labor shortage is getting worse as demand is getting stronger," said John Courson, chief executive of the Home Builders Institute, a national nonprofit that trains workers in the construction field.
Small, the Denver builder, estimates that he could construct at least 10 percent more homes this year if he had enough workers. But he remains short-staffed, despite raising pay to levels above what he paid during the housing bubble a decade ago."
