Five years after states first started shedding construction jobs, construction employment remains below peak levels in all fifty states and the District of Columbia according to a new analysis released today by 麻豆视频. Given the continued weakness in construction employment, 麻豆视频 is launching a new effort to encourage Congress to pass years-late legislation to fund highway, bridge and transit construction work.
鈥淭he construction industry remains a shell of its former self in too many states,鈥 said 麻豆视频鈥檚 chief executive officer, Stephen E. Sandherr. 鈥淢aking long-overdue investments in our nation鈥檚 aging roads, bridges and transit systems will put people back to work and give a needed boost to the broader economy.鈥
