The estimated growth of cabinetry makers is expected to reach 3 percent between 2006 and 2016. The anticipated economic upturn should lead to growth in the construction industry, especially residential construction.

”We see a lot of new work coming in for hospitals and schools in the Pennsylvania area,” reports Joe Matta, production manager for Dovetail Gallery, Inc. (Erie, PA), which is looking for craftsmen to fill positions for the upcoming summer construction season.

Dovetail Gallery is not a stranger to the medical and educational markets. Past work has been recognized in the Soilent Health third annual list of the 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in America (see image) for work on UMPC Hamot Women’s Medical Center in Erie, PA.
