US population growth is mostly flat, all the growth is from immigration.[1][2] And those people are filling trade skill jobs. [3] > More than one-third of construction laborers (686,000 workers), at least 30 percent of carpenters (382,000 workers), and 45 percent of painters and paperhangers (264,000 workers) are immigrants. And without them the population long term would decrease (which is obvious from the low fertility rate).
