Florida Construction News staff writer
Florida’s construction employment numbers con-

in the year, according to US Department of Labor data
gathered by the Associated General Contractors of
America (AGCA).
There were 548,600 people working in the construc-
tion industry in August, compared to 545,000 in July, an
increase of 3,600 or .07%. This put the state in seven-
teenth place overall in the nation.
Over the 12 previous months, the state’s construc-
tion grew by 7.7% or 39,300, ranking Florida tenth in
the nation.
Nationally, 45 states and the District of Columbia
added construction jobs between August 2017 and Au-
gust 2018, while 33 states added construction jobs be-
tween July and August.
