From the construction standpoint, it works out to 500 net jobs lost.Residential construction fell by 900 jobs in May, further fallout from the housing slump; heavy and civil engineering, representing construction work on such things as roads and bridges, lost an additional 300. But nonresidential building continued to show resilience, with a 700-job gain.Jobs were gained in aerospace and software and lost in retail and construction, not too sure how that will trash the local economy. – Rate this comment: 0 0
