Texas & Louisiana City Scoop: Construction Starts in Little Rock, Ark.
J. Kelly Robbins Executive Vice President AGC Arkansas
“Like most other construction markets, one of our biggest areas of concern is related to a limited workforce,” Robbins says. “This problem is further compounded by the fact that Arkansas’ current 3.5% unemployment rate is below the current national average and is the second lowest since the unemployment rate has been calculated, going back to the 1960s. The lowest rate of 3.4% was reported earlier this year.”
