Most of the construction jobs were in building. The area was rapidly expanding. All that came to a halt around 07 or so. I'm sure there were still some people working construction but there were way more workers than there were jobs.

My dad did concrete coating for a lot of the retirees and that more or less dried up around that time too. People stop spending as much on luxuries when there's a recession.
