Construction up in 40 states over last year, says AGC
Construction firms added jobs in 40 states and the District of Columbia over the past 12 months, according to AGC. The Associated General Contractors of America also found that construction jobs were added in 30 states and D.C. between April and May.
Association officials said the employment gains help, but that construction employment remains below peak levels in every state and the District of Columbia, except North Dakota.
