Construction in California

California has had some tight times. But the news is good for the construction industry. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has given about hundreds of millions to construction projects in California alone. This will create about 11,000 construction jobs.

CalTrans reported that they will spend the first wave of funds, $625 million, on 57 highway projects. Merced County will spend $46.7 million to replace bridges, which will create over 800 jobs.
