AGC Provides Testimony at Stimulus Hearing on Capitol Hill

Dr. Stephen S. Fuller of George Mason University testified on behalf of AGC before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure last Thursday. The hearing was held to examine how infrastructure investment contributes to job creation and economic recovery. In his testimony, Dr. Fuller noted that the current stimulus plan's proposed infrastructure investments would create or support more than 1.85 million new jobs between now and the end of 2010.  He said these jobs would include over 620,000 construction jobs, 300,000 jobs in supplying industries and 930,000 jobs throughout the broader economy.
