Looking at Construction work

A friend of mine from Chicago once told me that his city only had 2 seasons, “Winter & Construction!”  Since we are now finishing the Winter season, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the Construction Season.   From the data provided from https://datausa.io/profile/soc/470000/#growth there is no doubt that Construction workers make up a major part of the workforce. 

When looking at the Construction Occupation it is best to;

  1.      First look at your personal interest to make sure it is something you are interested in.  This Site has an excellent list of short descriptions for all the Construction and Extraction Occupations: https://collegegrad.com/careers/construction-and-extraction
  2.      Look at the annual mean wages to be sure it is in a pay range that you are interested in. https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2017/annual-mean-wage-of-construction-and-extraction-occupations-was-48900-in-2016.htm

   3.   Look at where there is a need for Construction workers. https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes470000.htm

   4.   Look at the annual mean wages to be sure it is in a pay range that you are interested in. https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2017/annual-mean-wage-of-construction-and-extraction-occupations-was-48900-in-2016.htm
