Construction jobs fall in 25 states, others gain work

The Kansas City area ranks No. 1 for construction jobs, largely due to a new spate of work in western Wyandotte County, Kan. Other areas of the country are not as fortunate. Construction employment declined in 25 states between April and May with New York state losing the most jobs, according to data compiled by the Associated General Contractors of America. Construction jobs in Florida fell to 360,200 in May from 364,700 the previous month. Louisiana added the most jobs over the month, and Hawaii saw the highest addition by percent of construction jobs.
