ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

Specialty Trade Contractors

Specialty trade contractors are responsible for pouring concrete, site preparation, plumbing, painting, and electrical work. These types of businesses usually perform most of their work at the construction site, although they may have shops where they perform prefabrication and other work. Establishments primarily engaged in preparing sites for new construction are also included in this category. In September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded just over four million employees of the subsector.
