| How to Soundproof | | |
Foam does not stop sound from going through walls or ceilings.
I thought I should just go ahead and get that out of the way. It is used to stop echoes in a room. The reason you see it in soundproofed recording studios is because they have already done things to the walls to block the sound from going through, then lined them with foam to stop the echo.

Builders Face Workforce Shortage, McGraw-Hill Finds | | |
NEW YORK, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The construction industry is concerned about skilled worker shortages, according to a new SmartMarket Report from McGraw-Hill Construction entitled "Construction Industry Workforce Shortages: Role of Certification, Training and Green Jobs in Filling the Gaps." It is the first study to focus exclusively on design and construction professionals and trade workers. Skilled workers have left the industry as a result of the economic downturn, an aging workforce and an insufficient pipeline of younger workers, according to the new study released at the AIA 2012 National Convention and Design Exposition this week in Washington, DC. The study shows that 69% of architect, engineer, and contractor (AEC) professionals expect skilled workforce shortages in next three years; 32% of AEC are concerned about a shortage of specialty trade contractors by 2014; 49% of the general contractors are concerned about finding skilled craft workers by 2017, and 37% of architect and engineering firms are concerned about finding experienced workers. Skilled green workers are in even more demand; 86% of architects and engineers and 91% of contractors are finding too few green skilled employees.
