Construction job openings jumped by 14,000 in June and are up 36 percent from a year ago, according to the Associated Builders and Contractors' read of the latest JOLTS report.
The industry logged over 300,000 openings on the last day of June, an increase of 81,000 from June 2025.
Here's the catch: construction spending is actually declining.
ABC's chief economist points to demographics instead — retirements of experienced workers and a shrinking pool of labor pushing contractors to hire faster just to replace the people walking off the job.
More openings without more spending means one thing: the workers left on site have to move more material with the same headcount. That is where the right attachment stops being a nice-to-have and starts being the difference between hitting a deadline and missing one.
