ABC sees positive employment signs
Contractors’ association says most states are keeping contractors and their employees busy in spring of 2021.
The Washington-based trade group Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) says construction sector employment “is holding its own,” although it is not back to pre-pandemic levels.
In an analysis of United States Bureau of Labor Statistics data for March, ABC says the figures show on a year-over-year basis, not seasonally adjusted (NSA) construction unemployment rates rose nationally and in 33 states.
The unemployment rate was unchanged in two states (Oklahoma and Washington) while it fell in 15 states. Among the states with ongoing unemployment problems are those where tourism plays a large role, including Alaska, with a 21.2 percent rate (48th out of 50) and Hawaii (last, at 28 percent).
