Comment on Home-building robots could help fix the housing crisis
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 11 hours agoIts really to compensate for the lack of framers.
Five years ago the average age of a framer was 55.
This is what happens when you don’t have a new generation of people trained to do something - constrictors have no choice but to use automation.
I’m not blaming anyone - its just an observation of pressures.

It is super easy to attract more people as framers and construction in general. Pay them a wage/benefits that make the work attractive. If there aren’t enough people trained, then use your aging workforce and start a paid apprenticeship program. Voila you have a younger workforce trained to do the work. That cuts into profits though, so they would rather blame made up BS for housing issues.
