    Concrete construction is a growing industry that currently employs around 320,052 people. The growth rate is projected to be 0.3% annually through 2029, though the number of employed workers stays steady as new workers replace retiring ones. Concrete laborers make around $34,500 on average, while concrete finishers earn more at $47,500 due to their more skilled work. Entry-level workers typically start with an apprenticeship or union job to gain on-the-job training. Concrete allows for more complex structures compared to asphalt and remains widely used around the world.

    CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION 1

    Abstract

    Concrete Construction is a growing blue collar job and is projected to keep growing. The growth

    rate is around zero point three percent and its growth is projected to go up in 2029. The reason

    the growth is so low compared to other jobs is because as new people join the workforce the

    elderly leave so the number of employment stays the same. There are about 320,052 people

    currently employed in the concrete construction industry. As of right now, the average concrete

    laborer is making $34,500, but a concrete finisher is making $47,500 because it is a harder and

    more skilled job with no room for mistakes. The certificate needed to work in the concrete

    industry is the OSHA Safety Certificate. In addition, licenses that are recommended are the

    (CFFT) Concrete Flatwork Finisher and Technician and a (CCM) Certified Construction

    Manager.

    Ultimately, most people start with an apprenticeship role and do on-the-job training. The other

    route is a union job such as DeCook Excavating during high school or right out of high school.

    To sum up, concrete is a trade needed to know. In contrast, its competitor, asphalt, cannot do the

    things that concrete can do like make stairs, walls, frames, and many more. Nevertheless,

    concrete is everywhere around the world.
