If you are new to the construction industry, here are basic descriptions of jobs in this field.

Construction jobs can be separated into two categories: laborers and supervisors.

Construction laborers perform tasks involving physical labor wherever anything is being built or demolished, such as (but not limited to) homes, commercial buildings, high rises, highways, tunnels, and bridges. Although many construction jobs are indoors, most require working outdoors. An applicant for laborer positions should expect to work in the extremes of summer or winter.

Physical strength is required to move construction materials where needed on the job site, and to maneuver and operate hand and power tools such as air hammers, earth tampers, cement mixers, circular saws, power generators, and a variety of other equipment.

Other responsibilities may include cleaning-up around the job site, digging trenches to bury electrical conduits and water pipes, and erecting and disassembling scaffolding.

Construction Foremen/Supervisors handle all aspects related to personnel management on site. The foreman/supervisors make decisions about production on a daily basis, and they must also coordinate the scheduling of all subcontractors such as electrical, drywall, and roofing contractors. They often work side by side with laborers, and are responsible for ensuring the project runs on schedule.

During the past decade, the construction industry in the United States was booming, and the hiring outlook for construction jobs was great, however, in 2008 everything changed. Layoffs in the construction industry were at a record high as the housing bubble burst. Many construction companies went bankrupt, forcing thousands of construction workers to the unemployment lines.
