While overall trends indicate a national growth in construction employment, in certain areas of the country, there is still cause for concern. According to findings by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), this is heavily tied to the health of the local economy.
Between July 2015 and July 2016, 39 states and Washington, D.C., added construction jobs. However, upon closer inspection, only 23 states and Washington, D.C., added jobs between June 2016 and July 2016. While overall growth is undeniable, the AGC identified some reasons for the hiccups some states are experiencing.
