What do homebuilders want? Immigration reform

US homebuilders are navigating both higher mortgage rates as well as constrained capital for building projects. But there is another big labor factor the industry is trying to figure out. National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) CEO Jim Tobin explains the industry's high labor demand that could be filled by skilled immigrant workers. According to the NAHB's own Eye On Housing Report, data from 2022 suggests that "a third of all carpenters and 41% of construction laborers are of foreign-born origin" in the United States.
