Construction Unemployment Declines To 16.5%

constructonomics

ENR reported that construction unemployment declined to 16.5% in August but the numbers don't exactly jive. Feel free to check out the full article or leave your comments on if you think the construction economy is improving.

Thanks.

It'll jump in October. Landscape contractors that don't plow or plow very little will have seasonal lay offs. Along with other outdoor trades that slow down/shut down in the winter.

John, why do you persist in attempting to lure this site's internet traffic to yours instead? Again and again, you are in violation of Contractor Talk's Terms of Service:

Participants may not post any message that directs others to any pages at their own commercial web site, including informational pages.

You know better; you have been warned more than once.

I have reported your post.

If you don't like what's on the TV you can just turn it off.....

I feel like I am providing valuable content that people enjoy and I am bringing more traffic to this site. If I'm doing all of this how can I be going wrong?

I would have liked to take a look at your article, but the actual link has been removed. I think things were starting to improve a little then in July/August started to take another dive and unemployment numbers(here anyway) have continued to rise. I haven't looked at the actual numbers recently, but I'm sure they're not good.

TV has its rules too, and broadcasters who flout them wind up in serious doo-doo with the FCC.

I'll give you an attaboy for having a link to this site on your blog, and some of your articles are indeed food for thought. No one has a problem with you posting them here. But I and others, including this site's owner, have a problem with your willful disregard of the TOS here.

It only takes a moment to copy & paste; the fact that you choose not to do so indicates that you want people to leave this site and visit yours.

I would of course not want you to walk outside the hallowed walls of Contractor Talk.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but I get it all the time here.
