In the spirit of Labor Day, we say thank you to our skilled trades workers who are essential. The pandemic has taught us to appreciate our truck drivers who bring food to the stores, our hairdressers who help hide our grays, our electricians who keep the lights on for us, our heavy equipment operators who dig and bury lines so we have Internet at home and our plumbers who keep our toilets flushing as we spend more time at home.
America’s future relies on the next generation of skilled trades workers. Parents and grandparents: Please tell your children a job in the skilled trades is a great future.
