In the 2000-2007 boom years there were 10'000 of young people trained in construction. Now with Irish economy heavily in the toilet unemployment is well over 14% and construction is one of the hardest hit sectors. |

| 1193405 | 2011-04-11 01:05:00 | Yes one of Nelsons big players in construction folded a few weeks ago, yet if work in Chch had been available they might have survived who knows. Plenty of builders with not much work on up here but if and when it picks up then there will be a real shortage of trades. I'm not going back to my trade after my operation in May | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1193406 | 2011-04-11 01:56:00 | People tend to go where the work is and there should be plenty of work in Christchurch. This could lead to a shortage of tradesmen in some centres. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1193407 | 2011-04-11 02:19:00 | And you know that how? I follow Irish news and Economic forums from time to time, it common knowledge there. |

| 1193408 | 2011-04-11 03:11:00 | A relief worker from our insurance company gave us a time frame of 3 to 20 years, so I proffered 18 years for our repairs to be carried out, could be was the reply. They have to build 12,000 odd new homes for the ones destroyed and a good place would be down on the plains near Rolleston, where hopefully there is good Waimak. rockbed to absorb the future quakes. We only hope EQC and insurance coys.', don't run of money meantime. Lurking. |

Plenty of builders with not much work on up here And here. And elsewhere. i know. If they hurry up and get on with it it might save a few more companies. Those that aren't directly involved will get more work too, cause it's quiet all over at the moment. |
