From Troy Shantz, The Sarnia Journal.
It’s been
a great year for business, says Jordan Parker.
The
29-year-old contractor is the owner of Grafted Group Corp., a Sarnia kitchen
design and property management company he launched six years ago.
“This is
hands down — over the last years —the busiest winter I’ve ever seen,” he said.
“It’s a
good time for contractors and renovators. There could be five more of us.”
Parker’s
experience matches the findings of a new study released by the Sarnia Lambton
Workforce Development Board, which found people with building trade skills are
in high demand.
Employers
who responded to 4th annual EmployerOne Survey said they expect to hire 439
people in trades, transport and equipment operator positions this year, a
category that includes plumbers, pipefitters, carpenters and drywallers.
Thank you
