Summary
Florida added 6,000 construction jobs from March to April, the biggest monthly gain, as employment rose in 32 states and held steady in D.C.
Texas led year-over-year growth with 18,700 added jobs, while Louisiana posted the fastest 12-month increase at 5.8%; North Carolina gained 13,600 jobs.
California recorded the largest annual loss at 14,500 jobs, and New Jersey had the biggest monthly drop at 1,500, while Maine saw the steepest one-month percentage decline at 1.9%.
AGC said the gains could fade later this year if Congress does not renew the federal highway and transit bill before it expires on Sept. 30, risking delays to state and local transportation projects.
