Interesting economic paradox unfolding: labor shortage is hitting the construction sector hard despite booming demand, yet AI keeps churning out new job opportunities. The supply-demand mismatch in the workforce tells quite a story about where we're headed.

AI creates jobs, but construction workers are still in short supply. This thing is really incredible.

NGL, there aren't enough construction workers, but AI is actually creating job opportunities. The logic is really crazy... But the problem remains the same, who the hell wants to go to the construction site to move bricks?

The ironic contrast between opportunities created by AI and the shortage of construction workers... Basically, it's still a skills mismatch issue, not a lack of work to do, but that no one wants to do it.

NGL construction sites are short of workers, and AI is creating new job opportunities again... How does this logic not connect? It feels like two parallel universes.

The construction industry is short of workers but still has projects, and AI is still rapidly creating jobs... Isn't this just today's magical realism? By the way, who will fill this gap?

AI has taken all the jobs, and construction sites still lack workers. This logic is truly amazing.
