Impacting the Industry
Respondents were asked the question "What will impact the U.S. aggregates indus-
try the most in the near future and how should it prepare?"
One respondent echoed concerns about labor, saying, "The labor pool will shrink,
older workers retiring, young workers are harder to recruit to the industry." How-
ever that respondent also added a warning about global competition: "Global
competition will increase, more global takeovers regardless of the position of the
White House – we live in a global economy even in our local aggregates operations."
