Construction Employment Increases from November 2017 to November 2018
45 Metros Experience Year-Over-Year Decreases
Construction employment grew in 265, or 74 percent, out of 358 metro areas between November 2017 and November 2018, declined in 45 and was unchanged in 48, according to a new analysis of federal employment data released today by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials cautioned that employment gains may be tapering off because contractors cannot find enough qualified workers.
