What's Happening

The construction industry is facing a pivotal moment. While the workforce is getting younger and more workers have entered the field recently, Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) projects that the U.S. construction sector must attract an additional 439,000 workers in 2025 to meet anticipated demand. This is more than a labor statistic—it’s a wake-up call for contractors, project managers, and the staffing industry alike.

As temperatures rise, so do the risks for those working outdoors. At LaborMAX Staffing, we take worker safety seriously — especially when it comes to heat-related illnesses. Whether you're on a construction site, handling cleanup, or working in logistics, proper precautions can protect your health and keep your crew productive. Here’s what every outdoor worker — and jobsite supervisor — needs to know.

If your business struggles to recruit talent, partnering with a staffing agency becomes a wise option. However, you need to consider what kind of recruiting firm is the right fit for your organization. This process includes deciding between using a national agency or a local staffing firm. Large national staffing agencies provide useful benefits to their clients, including large candidate pools and modern technology. However, many also lack meaningful connections within the local business community and a deep understanding of the region’s job market. If your business wants the benefits of a national recruiting firm, finding one with local expertise is critical. Let’s take a closer look at this important issue for companies needing an influx of talent.
