AGC of America Annual Outlook Survey 

Each Fall, AGC America asks its members to predict what next year will be like for their business. AGC has partnered with Sage to prepare questions that focus on expectations for market performance, hiring, labor market conditions, and more.


Please take the survey to support their efficacy. AGC of America will use the survey results to help make the case with elected and appointed officials in support of key member priorities. The more people who complete the survey by Thursday, December 7, the more effective the results will be in supporting the industry.
