For the fourth year in a row, they have been unable to hire another grader operator. Last fall, I was off work sick for 5 days and they had to shut a job down. I was asked to attend a job fair today with some co-workers. There was no interest among the kids in grader work. I spoke to the manager in charge of a heavy equipment course, and they have no grader in their program. I told him that there is a province wide shortage of grader operators. Said they had a program, but there wasn't enough interest. I think my position just became worth a whole lot more money. But seriously, not sure what will happen when us older guys retire.
