Construction Employment Continues to Expand
Written by Sandy Williams
The construction industry continues to add jobs despite a shortage of skilled workers, said the Associated General Contractors of America. In an analysis of Labor Department data, AGC said 35 states and the District of Columbia added jobs between February 2017 and February 2018, while 38 states added construction jobs between January and February.
Association officials praised the latest congressional spending bill for funding career and technical education to help young workers get into the industry.
