Thank you so much for that question, because it's something that I often grapple with.
Sometimes I feel they're talked about but oftentimes sugar-coated. The harsh realities and the current state of them are veered away from, and I truly believe that boils down to a lack of actual boots-on-the-ground knowledge. There aren't a lot of individuals who get into the skilled trades and stay there, know the environment inside and out and are able to sit at this table and advocate for that.
I believe they are talked about, but I feel there are a lot of misconceptions, one of them being retirement and that there are all these individuals in the skilled trades who are retiring. That is true, and it is going to affect us. However, at this current moment, we are not seeing the retirement rates that were originally projected.
