Construction job openings bounce back

Construction job openings rebounded significantly in November—rising by 90,000 to 292,000 from an “extraordinarily low” October level, marking the first year-over-year gain since July—though hiring remains historically sluggish amid project uncertainties and cautious staffing strategies.

This suggests a rebound in construction employment opportunities, signaling potential growth in advertising demand from businesses aiming to attract skilled labor and promote related services.
