The 6,000-job gain was a 7 percent rise year-over-year, bringing the Valley’s construction workforce to a total 88,500 in January, according to the report, which is comprised from data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Dallas area posted the largest job gain of 10,000 during the same period, followed by Los Angeles’s 9,600 jobs and Houston’s 8,700 jobs.
