The Friday 1/4 data tsunami included BLS data for 11/07 employment in electrical contracting. Production worker employment in the EC Industry was 739,600 (subject to revision), up 3.03% from one year earlier, but down from the 749,200 employed one month earlier.

It's not shocking to see the # of employed in any construction niche tick down as the year ends. It's hard to look at the numbers -- at this point -- and tease something meaningful out of them.

However, this IS worth noting: The 11/07 employment was figure was higher (by just a hair) than 11/02 . . . so this is the highest monthly employment of production workers in the EC Industry since 11/01 (a very good year for the industry).
