However, the labor force is under threat from a crisis that could see a shortage of 1.3 million workers by 2030, aggravated by aging workers, immigration policies, and declining interest in trade jobs. An estimated 700,000 to 900,000 undocumented workers may face vulnerability under stricter immigration enforcement, intensifying concerns over the housing market's stability amidst rising demands and costs.
