The Phoenix area added 17,500 new jobs in construction during the 12-month period that ended Nov. 30, the second-biggest gain in jobs nationwide.

Phoenix ended the period with 135,300 construction jobs, compared with 117,800 in November 2017, according to a study done by the Associated General Contractors of America. Construction employment grew in 74 percent of metro areas across the country in that time period.

Houston topped the list by adding a total of 24,000 jobs in construction in the 12-month span.

Phoenix’s percentage increase, 15 percent, was the eighth-biggest percentage increase nationwide for the period. The Weirton-Steubenville, Ohio area had the biggest percentage increase, with 26 percent, but that only equated to a gain of 500 jobs. (Subscriber content)
