Indiana's construction labor market is genuinely tight right now. Unemployment is low statewide, and major data center projects are pulling hard on project management, estimating, superintendent, and field leadership talent through the end of the decade. At the same time, a large share of the existing workforce is approaching retirement age, and the pipeline of younger skilled trades workers has not kept pace with demand. That gap between open roles and available candidates is widest in heavy civil, site development, and data center work, which are exactly the sectors where Amundson Group recruits. What moves pay in this market is project size and complexity, sector, years of experience, relevant licenses and certifications, and willingness to travel.
