But not in Nashville-Davidson County, where the number of jobs is growing. In fact, a new report from IPP Magazine places Nashville in the top ten cities with the highest demand for construction workers.
Recently, the National Association of Realtors said they believe Nashville will become a top 10 market for commercial construction in 2021.
But, this demand for development comes with consequences. Experts say we need to train more people if we want to keep this construction going.
Nashville building permits continue piling in, proof building here is robust.
