After receiving a hard blow from the economic downturn, St Louis construction jobs are finally starting to open up again, and there are plenty of opportunities for those looking for a position.
The mining, logging and construction industry in St. Louis employed 57,800 workers during March, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is up from 54,500 workers during February, but a 10.9 percent decrease from last year.
That recent growth may convince some formerly-employed construction workers, or those new to the industry, to start looking for work. If you’re one of those people, you may want to consider applying for construction management positions, which are popular and pay well.
