Construction Employment Declines in Most Metropolitan Areas

摘要

Construction employment increased between April 2009 and 2010 in more metro areas (17) than at any point during the past 12 months, according to a new analysis of federal employment data released by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America. However, AGC officials noted that even though construction job losses were less widespread than in previous months, the industry is still shedding workers in most metropolitan areas.rn"Construction employment is clearly stabilizing in a growing list of metro areas," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "Unfortunately, too many construction workers are losing jobs in too many metro areas."
