Journal of Commerce - Homebuilders fear stress test hurting industry
CEO Neil Moody spoke with the Journal of Commerce regarding newly-released jobs data from CHBA National, and the wider trends that are impacting jobs and economic growth in the residential construction industry.
The data released for 2018 shows approximately 207,000 residential construction jobs for B.C., a less than 4 per cent increase from 2017 which showed a little more than 199,000 jobs. The data for 2018 also showed $12.6 billion in wages and $28.3 billion in built investment value. Some cities, like Kelowna, Nanaimo and Surrey, saw year-over-year dips in their residential construction jobs numbers.
