<<Traders are puzzled over why the US Bureau of Labor Statistics has shown no change in the number of construction jobs from eighteen months ago,...">> Something was written somewhere and posted on this thread not too long back, theorizing that the BLS construction job figures don't seem to reflect the housing realities, because many construction workers are switching to the more robust commercial building industry.
