Louisiana was the only state in the country where more people were working in the construction industry last month than in September 2008.
That’s according to a state-by state analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America.
Louisiana’s construction industry employed 138,200 people in September, up 2,800 jobs or 2.1 percent, over the previous September.
The group says that 41 states saw double-digit percentage decreases in construction employment, led by Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Tennessee and Kentucky.
