For more than 100 years, we have honored the men and women who build America on Labor Day. From roads and bridges to airports, schools, homes and manufacturing plants, construction workers build the foundation for our country’s prosperity and strength.

As an industry, we build people, too, by expanding opportunities for hardworking Americans to choose a career path in construction.
