At L.E. Smith, we are always keeping an eye on industry trends and marketing solutions that may impact you, our valued clients and partners in the construction field. Recently, we came across some information that we believe is worth sharing.
Oldcastle Building Solutions has been providing industry insights to the construction community for nearly 80 years. Their team of experts compile a biweekly, comprehensive report that helps companies in the construction industry better understand current trends and make preparations for future projections.
Plan Ahead
The report posted below is from February 2nd and highlights data that reflects a decline in the construction industry’s monthly sales. When compared to where the industry was last year, however, these numbers are on the rise.
The data also shows that the industry added 36K jobs in January after adding 33K jobs in December. While that is great for the economy, it could mean that finding help this season may be difficult. Qualified candidates will be in-demand and will have their pick of contractors to work with. If you need to add members to your team, be sure to plan ahead.
