Construction industry in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The construction industry in the United States is one of the major sectors of the country's economy.[1] As of November 1, 2022 there are over 745,000 general contractor LLCs employing over 7.6 million in its workforce, putting up almost US$1.4 trillion worth of structures annually.[1]

Workforce

In 2006 unauthorized immigrants comprised 12% of the workforce.[2]

Pest treatment

Termites are a constant threat here, as they are in much of the world.[3] New construction here often requires pre- or post- treatment or both.[3]
