Interesting Industry Information
How is the Overall Workforce?
The U.S. Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes a "Monthly Jobs Report" soon after the beginning of each month. Each report describes the previous month's employment situation, based on data such as the number of jobs that were added to the economy and the unemployment rate. The US economy added 178,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate decreased slightly to 4.6%.For more information, check out the BLS' interactive graphs.
According to a recent AGC of America article, the Construction employment achieved an eight-year high of 6,704,000 in November, an increase of 19,000 from October and 155,000 or 2.4 percent from a year ago.
A Look Back at the Construction Industry
Throughout 2016
Throughout the last year, the architecture, engineering and construction industry has faced its fair share of challenges, but it has seen a number of opportunities as well. Ideas have been conceived, processes have been improved and new technologies have been developed. For a glimpse at some of the highlights and hot topics from the past year, check out the following articles from Construction Dive.
Consumers are becoming increasingly comfortable with wearable technology for personal use. Whether they wear a Fitbit, Google Glasses or keep tracking tiles on their key chain and bags, the devices are becoming more accepted and affordable. The recent Construction Dive article: Wearable Devices Bring Human Data to the Connected Job Site, predicts that the global wearable market will reach $19 billion in 2018!
A portion of the anticipated market share belongs to the construction industry. The initial intended uses focus on worker safety and tracking, such as a tech-infused vest that can alert the wearer (and / or their supervisors) know of potential dangers in the immediate area, and serve as a locator in the event o a major disaster. Additional concepts include:
Heat regulated clothing
Glasses (such as Google Glasses) that integrate with BIM technology to create a real-world view of a construction site.
Full body exoskeletons to enable workers to perform tasks that are beyond the ability of a typical human
Before bidding farewell to 2016, take a moment to reflect on the past year. It is important to remember that the successes seen by your company would not have been possible without your hardworking staff. Reward your employees for their ongoing efforts and dedication.
