Construction Employment Up In 13 States

Thirteen states showed year-over-year growth in construction employment, according to data released by the Labor Department.

"It is encouraging that the number of states adding jobs year-over-year was higher in November than at any time since February 2008," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. He added that the gains were "as spotty as they are tenuous." California, New Jersey and New York were among those that posted increases.

Simonson noted, for example, that California had the largest monthly increase in construction employment – adding 7,800 jobs – but also the largest 12-month drop – 36,900 jobs, or 6.4 percent. New Jersey and New York had the next-highest number of construction job gains in November with 4,500. New Jersey also led the nation in monthly percentage gains (3.7 percent), followed by Vermont (3.4 percent, 400 jobs) and Maine (2.5 percent, 600 jobs).
