I don't know about the rest of the country but in Kentucky there ain't a lot of construction going on right now...definitely not at the state level. Construction is the largest industry in the United States isn't it? Assuming this to be true, from where I'm sitting I can't see where the economy is doing all that great, even though reports say retail sales are up, less claims for unemployment are being filed and x-amount of "new" jobs have been created, I still don't see it happening and don't know what's behind the numbers supporting the stock market.

If you are working in the industrial or heavy construction industry and are unemployed or want to change jobs, FAX your resume to EVERY company you can think of. Don't send just one and then sit down and assume there are no jobs out there. If you are the type who will not consider either moving or traveling to work in the industry, you may very well stay unemployed and broke. btw, there are tons of road and bridge construction jobs in the state of Kentucky at this time.

On 3/14/12, DHL invested $47m to expand the Americas hub at Cincinnati/Northern KY airport. They are building a 193,000 sq ft sort facility which will create 280 NEW jobs at the DHL CVG hub over the next 12 months.

Later I will write some comments from recent events that left our lives spinning for about 2 months. The very same weekend similar circumstances hit my sister, an accountant who does not work for construction companies.
