Residential construction employment, which includes residential building and specialty trade contractors, has increased 4.8% for the year.

Non-residential construction employment, which includes building, specialty trades, and heavy and civil engineering construction, rose 1.4% year over year.

The Atlanta area in particular is one of the cities mentioned for positive economic conditions for both multifamily and non-residential construction.
