Wouldn't the market just expand to absorb the extra demand?

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.
