While AI is reshaping entire industries, the trades aren't flinching. Construction added 17,000 jobs in May 2026. Here's where the growth is coming from:

🔧 Specialty trade contractors led the charge, up 14,000 jobs in May alone. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs are in demand across virtually every market.

🏗️ Heavy & civil engineering added 2,600 jobs driven by infrastructure buildout, energy projects, and public works.

🏢 Nonresidential construction is outpacing residential right now, with commercial and industrial builds surging as companies reshore manufacturing and data centers continue to expand.

Total construction employment now sits at 8.337 million, nearly the highest level in a generation.

The data is clear: The trades aren't going anywhere. They're the backbone of every project, every job site, every community, and they're only getting busier.

At Finturf, we're proud to stand behind the people who build the world around us by giving contractors the financing tools they need to win more jobs and keep growing.

The tariff picture for HVAC has changed. Again.

When we published our write-up for Air Conditioning Contractors of America in May, residential equipment was facing a full 25% Section 232 tariff. On June 1, the White House issued Proclamation 11032 and the landscape shifted.

Here's what's new for HVAC contractors:

🔧 Residential HVAC systems & components now qualify for a temporarily reduced 15% Section 232 tariff (down from 25%) until December 31, 2027.
🔨 The U.S.-origin metal content threshold dropped from 95% to 85%. Products that narrowly missed the old bar may now qualify for lower rates.

Read that fine print carefully though. These reductions are temporary, they don't apply to everything, and Section 232 still stacks on top of Section 301 for Chinese-origin components.

Tariff relief on the equipment side is a step forward, but the affordability problem at the kitchen table is still very real. That’s why we built Maximus for ACCA members to meet homeowners where they are. One application connects to the industry's largest home improvement financing network with a 92%+ approval rate. 💪🔥🚀

It's National Homeownership Month and homeowners have never been more financially stretched. Here's the reality contractors are walking into:

💸 1 in 4 homeowners have $500 or less set aside for emergency repairs.
😤 60% of homeowners say owning a home costs more than they expected.
🛠️ 50% of homeowners are skipping HVAC maintenance to save money.
🏠 71% of homeowners have put off at least one home project this year due to economic uncertainty.

Homeowners want the work done. What's missing is the cash to cover it upfront. That's where financing changes the game. It's not a perk anymore. It's how the job still gets done.

This National Homeownership Month, be prepared to meet homeowners where they are by offering financing: https://merchant.finturf.com/registration?referralId=13938

Everyone is betting on the trades. 🛠️

Earlier this year, Lowe's Home Improvement committed $250 million to train 250,000 new plumbers, electricians, and carpenters by 2035.

Now, the U.S. Department of Education announced that federal Pell Grants — historically reserved for traditional 2- or 4-year college degrees — will now fund short-term trade and vocational programs starting July 1, 2026.

Here’s what's changed with the Workforce Pell Grant Program:

💰 Students can use federal grant money for 8–15 week programs (150–599 hours) in high-skill, high-demand trades.
🏛️ Programs must be offered by accredited institutions and approved by state governors in consultation with workforce boards.
🔧 Eligible fields include career and technical education, registered apprenticeships, and targeted skills training.
📊 Tuition is capped based on graduate earnings, meaning programs have to prove ROI or lose eligibility.

The message from every direction is the same: The trades are the future of the American workforce.

Finturf was built for this very moment. We've been here for the contractors navigating today's market. And we'll be here for the boom that's arriving.
