ANALYSIS
With nearly 8 million Americans employed in construction, there’s no sign that workers who should have been most affected by the rapid slowdown in new housing projects are taking a break.
Jobs in the residential construction component of the sector peaked in January at 935,800. This has since cooled a bit but only by around 6,000 people, coming down to 929,900 in April.
