“The market has experienced steady growth in recent years and will remain on this trajectory into 2025. This is primarily due to the increase in both residential and non-residential construction. With this growth, industry professionals will face challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified workers to keep up with demand.”

“I think 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for the industry. In 2024, the election-year uncertainty led many companies to put hiring and investments on hold, but now that’s behind us. Businesses are regaining confidence and investing in growth.”

“I’m very bullish on 2025; I think the new administration in D.C. is much more business-friendly, and business owners have a lot of confidence. Time will tell, but I am very excited, and we have made significant investments in our businesses, which we anticipate growing.”
