Online resources: Summary: Reveals a significant skills shortage in the UK construction industry, with 77% of survey respondents experiencing problems recruiting during 2006, particularly at senior management and craft/trade levels. Seventy two percent of respondents expected demand for construction to increase during 2007 and were concerned about recruiting enough skilled workers to meet this. Whilst the number of migrant workers from eastern Europe is increasing, the survey suggests this is not sufficient to fill the skills gaps, particularly at management level.
