Roofers

Significant Points

• Most roofers acquire their skills informally on the job; some roofers train through 3-year apprenticeship programs.
• Jobs openings for roofers should be plentiful because the work is hot, strenuous, and dirty, causing many individuals to leave for jobs in other construction trades.
• Demand for roofers is less susceptible to downturns in the economy than demand for other construction trades because most roofing work consists of repair and reroofing.
