• Description:
  This Data Bulletin provides updated information on construction employment, business, and vaccination rates and attitudes since March 2020. Employment and work losses due to COVID-19 were estimated from monthly data of the Current Population Survey, a data collection of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The effects of COVID-19 on construction businesses were assessed using the U.S. Census Bureau's weekly Small Business Pulse Survey. Employment and business trends were compared between construction and all industries, and among construction subgroups. Percentages of worker vaccination and hesitancy were calculated using data from the COVID Symptom Survey, a voluntary online survey of active Facebook users to track COVID-19 across the United States, conducted by the Delphi Group at Carnegie Mellon University through collaboration with Facebook. Patterns of vaccination and hesitancy were analyzed and compared among major occupational categories. Time periods covered by this report varied by source according to data availability.
