More than half of Wisconsin metropolitan areas saw year-over-year gains in construction jobs in November, a month when barely a third of all U.S. metros recorded increases.
Citing non-seasonally adjusted federal data, the Associated General Contractors of America reported on Monday that only 34% of all metropolitan areas throughout the country saw construction jobs increase between November 2019 and November 2020. In Wisconsin, though, seven of the state’s 12 metro areas had gains.
The biggest increases were seen in the Fond du Lac area (up 15%) and the Oshkosh-Neenah area (up 16%). Gains were also recorded in Green Bay, Janesville-Beloit, Madison, Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis and Racine. Construction employment meanwhile either held steady or decreased in Appleton, Eau Claire, La Crosse-Onalaska, Sheboygan and Wausau.

Construction jobs in Houston and across the country are becoming more scarce as public agencies and private owners become hesitant about starting new projects during the pandemic, according to an analysis from the trade group Associated General Contractors of America.
The Houston region lost 22,500 or 9 percent of construction jobs from November 2019 to November 2020 more than any other metro in the country. New York City, which lost 16,700 jobs, and Midland, shedding 9,800 jobs or 25 percent of construction jobs, followed.
