The number of unfilled job openings in the construction industry in the United States was lower in 2024 than in 2023. However, those figures are still quite high in comparison to the number of unfilled vacancies earlier in the decade. That may indicate that there is more demand for construction workers, or that those positions are difficult to fill. Still, those figures only represented a relatively small percentage of the overall number of construction employees in the U.S.
