The construction industry continues to struggle to retain young workers, which is a problem as Baby Boomers are projected to age out of the workforce by 2030. According to For Construction Pros, the labor shortage remains a major area of concern for many industry professionals, with research showing there are open positions at 85% of construction firms. At the same time, 10,000 people are retiring per day. Because of this, promoting construction careers to younger generations is essential to address the workforce gap and sustain industry growth. This can be done in a number of ways, including early engagement through school programs, developing talent internally, and recruiting underrepresented communities, among other methods.

David Trubridge’s path to where he is today is quite unconventional. In fact, he didn’t plan to start a global lighting business nor did he plan to settle in New Zealand. Being a natural adventurer and risk-taker meant anything could happen. In 1976 across a marshy field, an old barn called Dykehead was renovated and turned into a workshop. After it was completed, David started to develop his business while also holding a part-time job as a forester on the local estate. David’s skills and mind were developing and the home had become a safe haven. Now, many years later, David is one of New Zealand’s most internationally recognizable designers. He is known for his kitset lighting and environmental activism. David Trubridge Ltd the company, has evolved since 1995: from David’s original studio-based practice, to now making everything in Whakatu, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Learn more about these beautiful lighting designs in today’s Maker Monday.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

Recent trade law clarifications could mean lower tariff rates, and other effects, for laminated textiles and goods made from them. Every five to six years, the WCO updates the international Harmonized System (HS) used to classify imported and exported goods. Effective Jan. 1, 2022, a change was made to the interpretation of textile materials considered to be impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics. This can impact rates of duty, not only for the textiles themselves but also for goods made from those textiles as well as eligibility for trade preferences, whether those goods are in the scope of enforcement actions such as antidumping orders and a host of trade issues that tend to derive from how products are classified under the Harmonized System.
