In September, employment in the US construction industry showed a pattern of dual differentiation between data centers and the housing industry: data center-related construction does not seem to be affected by high interest rates, while the housing construction business continues to be dragged down by high borrowing costs. About 12,000 new jobs were added in the US non-residential specialty contracting sector. The housing sector lost about 8,000 jobs, and this trend of industry differentiation that began in 2024 continues.
