Mass. gains 2,900 construction jobs

Massachusetts gained 2,900 construction jobs between January 2013 and January 2014, a 2.4 percent increase and 12th highest in the country, according to an analysis released yesterday by the Associated General Contractors of America's labor department. Construction firms added jobs in 38 states, while 27 states experienced construction employment gains between December and January. Association officials said the fact so many states added construction jobs for the year and month despite harsh winter conditions in many parts of the country is a sign that demand appears to be recovering.

Kansas led all states with a 10.7 percent rise (5,900 jobs) in construction employment. Other states adding a high percentage of new construction jobs for the year included Oregon (9.4 percent, 6,600 jobs); Florida (9.2 percent, 32,700 jobs); Minnesota (9.2 percent, 8,900 jobs) and Alaska (9.1 percent, 1,500 jobs).
