AGC Releases Stimulus Survey Results

AGC released results of a survey that measured the impact of stimulus funds on construction companies' ability to expand payrolls.  The survey found that stimulus construction funds have had little impact to date on companies' ability to hire new employees, but has helped companies save existing jobs. The survey data was announced during a media conference call that included AGC's CEO Steve Sandherr, chief economist Ken Simonson, and several AGC contractor members. The news has been widely covered by outlets such as Reuters, Christian Science Monitor and The Washington Post. For more information, contact Brian Turmail at (703) 837-5310 or turmailb@agc.org.
