Restrictive Policies Contribute to California’s Low Construction Employment Ranking

Jul 31, 2024 2:00 PM EDT

SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 31, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The construction unemployment rate in California stands at 3.9% through June 2024. While this marks a decrease in a year, a deeper review of the numbers shows that only 7 states have seen their unemployment rates improve slower than California, according to a state-by-state analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data released today by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). “While the industry is pleased with a relatively low unemployment rate, we wonder how much lower it could be if we simply adopted policies consistent with the rest of the nation,” said John Morris, President and CEO, ABC Northern California Chapter (ABC NorCal).
