LABOR SUPPLY INFORMATION

Accurate information about the supply of skilled craftsmen for major construction projects is difficult to obtain. As a result, it is difficult to predict what impact a proposed project will have on an area and equally difficult to predict whether the project will be completed in a timely manner. To address this problem, those involved in the study agreed on three objectives: 1. Develop an understanding of the specific manpower supply information that would help users and contractors in planning industrial construction projects. 2. Identify sources of desired information. Investigate how data is made available and describe how it might be used. 3. Analyze the gaps between information that users and contractors feel they need and what is available. Where shortcomings are identified, develop sugestions as to whether they can be realistically remedied and, if so, how. (Author)
