Abstract: Construction employment by demographic and work-related characteristics was estimated using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Employment numbers among construction subsectors were obtained from the Current Employment Statistics (CES). Both CPS and CES are conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The effects of COVID-19 on construction businesses were assessed using the U.S. Census Bureau’s new weekly Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS), which measures the changes in business conditions during the pandemic. The trends of monthly employment and weekly business performance were traced and compared between construction and all industries on average. Differences between construction subgroups were analyzed to identify which groups were hit harder. Definitions for italicized terms are included as the reader’s references.
