Decline in construction apprenticeships flags concern for housing crisis

According to analysis in The Daily Telegraph, nearly 42,000 people began trade training in 2023.
That is down from a peak of just over 54,000 the previous year.
Master Builders Australia says improving the country's domestic pipeline of construction workers will be crucial in overcoming the housing crisis.
