Careers in Construction
What makes the construction industry different from other industries?
Jobs can’t be exported. It’s hard to imagine a day where the building needed in Kansas will be built in China and shipped overseas. According to the Buireau for Labor Statistics, the construction industry has been identified as the only goods-producing sector in which employment is expected to grow between 2002 and 2012.
