The Roofing Alliance has made available A Study of the U.S. Roofing Industry and Its Workforce.
Labor shortages and worker retention issues have created many challenges for the roofing industry. And because there has been little reliable workforce data available, the industry has been ill-equipped to fully understand the magnitude of these challenges.
The Roofing Alliance funded the study and, in 2019, commissioned Arizona State University to study current roofing workforce demographics. The study comprehensively examines the demographics of the U.S. roofing workforce, including the contracting, manufacturing, distribution and design communities; explores types of operations; and analyzes industry challenges, trends and emerging issues.
