Construction Jobs in Houston Slowly Improving
Friday, April 1st, 2011The state of construction jobs in Houston and throughout Texas appears to be improving along with the rest of the nation, although signals of a full recovery still remain mixed.
A recent report from the Associated General Contractors of America found that Texas added the most construction jobs over the last year, even as the state lost the most construction jobs between January and February of this year.
Year over year, Texas added 31,500 construction jobs, an increase of 5.6 percent. The construction industry isn’t out of the woods just yet, however, as the state lost 4,300 construction jobs, a decrease of 1.4 percent, at the beginning of the year.
