Job openings fell to 195,000 in December, equal to roughly 2.6% of the available construction positions. The annual Marcum report, which was released today by the Firm’s national Construction Services group, extrapolates construction data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Turnover Survey.
