Walmart and other US companies struggle to replace retiring tradespeople

As the number of skilled tradespeople dwindles in the U.S., Walmart is building up its own workforce to keep conveyor belts moving and refrigerated grocery cases cold. The nation’s largest retailer and private employer revamped its training program last year to increase the pipeline of maintenance technicians who work at Walmart's distribution centers and stores. inside and outside of the company. Analysts and employers say retirements and reduced immigration have worsened a shortage of carpenters, mechanics and other tradespeople that many industries need. Walmart says maintenance technicians are crucial to keeping its operations running smoothly, especially during the busy holiday season.

Had fascias/guttering replaced on my house and have been left with a really uneasy feeling about the #tradesman Initially cdn’t quite put my finger on why.
When the work was finished he said something like “Right, let’s go in and sort this out” which took me aback. I said there’s no need for that! (#MaskUp)
I asked for an invoice and he said he’d send it later. (Hah!) Nevertheless I sent him the money he’d quoted for the job. I like to pay promptly and be fair but something felt ‘off’.
