NRCA issues Action Alert regarding the industry’s workforce needs

The difficulty of finding sufficient qualified workers to fill job openings in the roofing industry continues to worsen each year despite vigorous recruiting efforts by employers. This is the result of an aging workforce, changing educational preferences in the U.S. and other factors.

H.R. 4288, the Workforce for an Expanding Economy Act, establishes an innovative, market-driven visa system that allows potential immigrant workers to temporarily fill job openings for employers with year-round, non-farm positions that cannot otherwise be filled. This is a vital long-term solution to the roofing industry’s workforce needs.

NRCA urges all members to reach out to their members of Congress to advocate for legislation that will address workforce shortages in the roofing industry.
