There are substantial unsatisfied demands for bricklayers for housing work throughout the country, but the most serious shortages are not of labour but certain materials.
It is notorious that there is a large unsatisfied demand for bricklayers at the present time.
These included carpenters and bricklayers, plant operators, electricians, asphalt gang labourers and site staff.
Construction workers, be they painters, carpenters, bricklayers, or steelworkers, are organized into guilds and unions that are very strong and able to demand very high wages.
There is no adequate reason for such a conservative disregard of a material which has the virtue of not calling for skilled bricklayers, who are costly and unobtainable.
According to several contemporaries, the scarcity of skilled carpenters, bricklayers, and tailors in the province meant that they commanded wages of £60 or even £70 sterling per year.
Nevertheless, certain professions stand out as contributing more than their share of rebels, among them the building trades (carpenters, plasterers, bricklayers, painters), drapers' assistants, creamery workers, hairdressers, and teachers.
The bricklayer carrying most of the weight is standing on a tread that was put in only a few minutes earlier.
