Central Ohio gained 6,100 construction jobs over the past year, more than almost any other U.S. city, as Intel, Ohio State University and other projects keep the local hammers swinging.
Between May 2022 and this May, the number of Columbus-area construction jobs rose from 48,600 to 54,700, according to the Associated General Contractors of America , which based the report on federal Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The data also includes an estimated 3,000 jobs in the mining and logging industries.
Only Dallas and New York added more new construction jobs over the same period, AGC found. Among larger cities, Columbus had the biggest percentage gain of construction jobs over the last year. Ken Simonson, chief economist with the AGC, noted that Intel's construction of two semiconductor factories in New Albany"Since the groundbreaking, the Intel project seemed to move ahead much quicker than most large projects," he said."It involved many thousands of workers to just prepare the ground to start the work. I suspect that's a significant portion of the increase.
