Job Security With A Home-Based Business
The construction industry has had its fair share of ups and downs in the last few decades. As a 13-year-veteran in the industry, the blow the industry took in the last three years came as a total shock. Just two years ago, our company had business lined up until the year 2020. Things changed quite rapidly when planned projects started vanishing.
In the last 18 months, construction workers have fallen victim to unemployment in record numbers. Hundreds of my peers have been effected. The years of sacrifice these employees have awarded to the company meant nothing when this industry plummeted; some having been with the company more than 20 years. The layoffs came as a surprise and nobody knew when or who would be after that. It was painful to watch people stressing about their future. Each one knew full well they could be joining a very long unemployment line themselves.
