Carhartt spotlights opportunities in skilled trade jobs this Labor Day
Since 1889, Carhartt has been defined by the ideals of its founder Hamilton Carhartt, who believed in quality – not just for products, but also quality of life for workers. At a time of fluctuating employment and career changes, this Labor Day, Carhartt is calling attention to the number of job opportunities across the U.S. in skilled trades – an estimated 1.67 million in June alone, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
On Sept. 4, Carhartt unveiled a larger-than-life installation of 1,670 hard hats to represent 1.67 million job openings across construction, manufacturing, mining, logging, transportation, trade and utilities. Built in the shape of the United States, the installation was unveiled at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park in Nashville – a city hard at work as one of America's construction megacities with three dozen cranes currently up across Nashville skies as of August 2020.
