Construction Industry Trends Indicate Employee Retention is Key to Successful Business

The Construction Industry has been steadily growing in the United States for the past several years. As the demand for further development and infrastructure support continues, so does the need for skilled labor. All stages of the construction industry offer opportunities for career advancement, yet a majority of businesses are consistently experiencing high turnover rates.
