      abstract = {Construction is one of the largest industries in the world, with many benefits that help people worldwide and are vital to the expansion of any country's economy. The construction sector is widely present in people's daily life and employs a sizable workforce. It is crucial to the nation's economic development and progress since it creates the infrastructure required for socioeconomic advancement while also significantly contributing to the nation's overall economic growth. The purpose of this research is to ascertain whether age, industry experience, and educational attainment are related to the skill sets of construction workers in San Fernando, Pampanga's residential building sector. Respondents to the questionnaire include 153 construction workers who are presently employed by six (6) different construction companies in San Fernando, Pampanga, on residential projects. Civil engineers assess the skills of construction workers by regularly visiting and monitoring the site, as they have been acquainted with each worker's performance and are aware of their talents. The Likert Scale Questionnaire, a five-point scale, was used in the study. The results of the study showed that a worker's intangible talents are influenced by their sociodemographic profile, while their tangible skills are only marginally impacted.},
