Jobless construction workers wonder what’s next
TAMPA, Fla. _ As a few dozen real estate and title insurance agents mingle around a steakhouse’s bar at a networking mixer, one shares a sardonic joke: Is it OK to pray for a hurricane?
The storms can devastate, but they also stir up business in real estate and construction.
Over beers and gin and tonics at a recent gathering, the mixer crowd revealed the major career moves their friends and spouses are contemplating. One woman said her husband is studying to become a nurse after years as a property appraiser.
Next to her, a veteran mortgage broker said three of his former colleagues are looking at nursing, too.
Like thousands of others, they had bet their livelihoods on Florida’s unrelenting growth, which had been one of its three economic pillars, along with agriculture and tourism. But with that pillar cracked, middle-age workers in particular are confronting tough questions about what to do next.
Fearing that they’re too old to retrain in something new, many wonder where their skills fit in the future economy.
“It may mean that some of those people (in growth-related fields) never get those jobs again,” said Sean Snaith, who heads the Institute for Economic Competitiveness at the University of Central Florida.
The number of people tied to growth who have lost jobs in this recession is remarkable.
Today, there are about 407,000 construction jobs in Florida, about 40 percent fewer than three years ago. The fallout has been less severe among real estate agents and brokers: Only about 8 percent of their jobs have disappeared, falling to about 124,000 in Florida, state data show. However, agents suggest many of the people remaining in real estate are hanging on at a fraction of their former pay.
State and federal jobs data don’t isolate many growth-related jobs, such as mortgage brokers, title insurance agents and building materials manufacturers, so the number of displaced workers is probably thousands higher.
