Still a long way to go on construction jobs

The economy is recovering but construction jobs are still not back in the numbers seen pre-recession.
Jobs in the industry are 35 percent off their peak in the Fort Collins-Loveland area and 10 percent off the same measure in Greeley.

In the Fort Collins-Loveland metropolitan statistical area, 7,100 construction jobs were reported in December 2011, a loss of 3,800 from that month’s peak of construction employment in the area, which occurred in December 2006. At that time, construction jobs totaled 10,900 in Fort Collins-Loveland.

Greeley showed a total of 10,100 construction jobs in December 2011, off 1,100 from the December 2007 peak of 11,200.
