Something we don't talk about enough in the trades — the real cost of what we ask of the people who do this work every day.
Construction and the trades have the highest su***de rate of any industry in the country. The physical toll, the long hours, the financial pressure, the expectation to just push through — it all adds up in ways that don't always show up on a job report.
We're sharing this piece because it says something that needs to be said. We're proud to do quality work and treat our people well. We believe that starts with acknowledging the reality of what this industry asks of its workforce.
If you know someone in the trades who is struggling, please check on them. The work will still be there tomorrow.
