I don't think a major construction project anywhere else in the world exclusively uses homegrown labour and technology. Are you implying that the US can't/won't hire german/dutch/japanese/chinese engineers for infrastructure projects?
When the whole world is your labour market, lack of skilled labour can't be an excuse.
- protomyth 13y agoEngineers do not build infrastructure projects. They design them and supervise. I am talking about the people who can actually do welding, plumbing, construction, etc. Its not exactly easy to get foreign workers into the US to do vocational work. Projects around the oil fields in ND are delayed or cancelled because of a lack of workers. Heck, the oil companies are currently recruiting in Canada.
