CAREERS IN
CONSTRUCTION MONTH
Careers in Construction Month occurs every October as a nationwide
campaign designed to increase public awareness of the opportunities
available in the construction industry. It is a time to recognize all the
hardworking, highly skilled men and woman who build America and
inspire our youth to choose a successful career in the industry. At Gaylor
Electric, we recognize contributions made by educators students,
employers and employees that promote the construction industry.
Choosing a career in construction starts with education and hands-on
learning. Nearly 20% of a student's time is spent in the classroom while
80% is spent on the job - getting paid for their time. Other benefits of a
career in the construction industry include great pay, high demand,
and endless opportunity for advancement.
In 2023, it is expected that nearly 1-million craft professionals will be
needed and yearly salaries starting around $60,000. To learn more
