Washington Construction Faces Job Losses: How LaborMax Staffing Helps Contractors Overcome Labor Shortages

Posted on 09/23 by Jenny Moraga

Alternate Text

The construction industry is a driving force behind economic growth, but in Washington, contractors are facing an uphill battle. Labor shortages are causing project delays, job losses, and rising costs across the state. According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), 92% of construction firms nationwide are struggling to hire, and nearly half have delayed projects because of workforce shortages. While Texas and New Mexico are seeing job gains, Washington construction firms are losing ground — not because of a lack of projects, but because of a lack of workers.

Why Labor Shortages Are Hitting Washington Hard

The demand for construction in Washington continues to grow, yet there simply aren’t enough qualified workers to fill open roles. Companies are forced to stretch existing crews thin, delay deadlines, and risk losing bids. Officials are calling for expanded training programs and new legal pathways for workers to enter the industry. But for contractors trying to stay competitive, waiting for change isn’t an option. That’s where LaborMax Staffing steps in.
