I know the answer but you have this weeks statistics from around the country? Because I do - its what I do for a living. There is a downturn in employment opportunities for all building trade categories currently that is higher than the normal seasonal downturn. Building permits of ALL kinds are down across the entirety of the US and in all but select markets. It is what it is. There are lot of building trades professionals out of work currently in the US and it is in every trade and almost every market.....
Tell that to IBEW 613 and the pipe fitters union who are currently spending tens of thousands on ads during the UGA radio broadcast to recruit new tradesmen.

Ivy league schools are mostly expensive liberal indoctrination centers . They have some value if your kid can meet rich contacts there , otherwise a state school education is better and cheaper . My brother goes to Harvard . Chemistry is taught by a grad student . I go to a state school and get an assiciate professor teaching for a fraction of the cost .

You think tech workers know which end of shovel to use? Also, it’s hot outside, and techies are indoor cats.

And the PE firm will ultimately eliminate competition in that city while driving down plumbing wages like they’ve been doing for the past several years everywhere else.
