20200918 National Tradesmen Day

A lot of the Lego Tradespeople showed up to show support for each other's work in the community. They trained to use their hands in producing a product or serve the needs of others. Perhaps you are or were in a trade. Thank you for your work!

September 18 Is National Tradesmen Day

 

The third Friday in September is known as “National Tradesmen Day” and is sponsored by the IRWIN® Tool Company. Tradesmen are one of our nation’s greatest assets. We deeply respect their daily contributions to society that keep our country running.

 

On the third Friday in September, National Tradesmen Day honors the men and women whose skills and hard work build America. And, their skills keep it running strong. The day recognizes the professionals who maintain the complex infrastructure of our roads, cities, water systems, and power grids.

While these experts work day in and out maintaining skills unique to their trade, our nation continues to operate smoothly without pause. The skills and knowledge of those in the trades keep businesses, homes, and entire nations running. Whether walls go up or come down, roads cross rivers or the water flows, electricians, plumbers, masons, mechanics, carpenters, and everyone in between ensures the job gets done.

 

Additionally, they pass on their skills to the next generation. Even though the industry changes, the need for it does not. In fact, as the country grows and qualified workers retire, the demand for skilled workers grows. Skilled trades are one of the fastest-growing sectors in the job market today. So, not only does their know-how keep the country going, but their salaries do, too. They’re a major influence on the economy.

 

Their skills and jobs are so valuable, in fact, that training is available in nearly every sector of the skilled trade job market. With their hands, skills, tools, and training, they keep our country running smoothly.
