The demand for construction workers? If so, it could, if there’s enough unemployment. Otherwise workers from some other industry would shift. Creating a shortage there. Switching industries is a more difficult process though. But if there’s already a labour shortage in the construction industry, then that answers the question. There isn’t enough unemployment or shifting from other industries to fill the demand.
