(FAYETTEVILLE, NC) September 28, 2023 – According to the Future of Skilled Trades Report from home services provider Thumbtack, 47 percent of young people are interested in pursuing a career in the trades citing a more flexible schedule, a faster and less expensive educational program with less debt, a quicker entry into the workforce and the ability to be your own boss as reasons for the optimistic outlook.
