AGC: More Construction Job Losses Ahead
Written by Sandy Williams
Construction employment decreased in 20 states and the District of Columbia from February to March, held steady in six states and increased in 24 states, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America.
During the 12 months ending in March, construction employment declined in only seven states and D.C., remained steady in two states, and increased in 41 states. The data is based on employment as of March 12, before most states or owners began curtailing construction, noted AGC.
