License Description |
Construction workers often work outdoors and in physically demanding occupations. They are usually required to travel from one job site to another and must frequently travel out of their local area. Construction workers, while paid very well, are subject to layoffs, particularly in the winter months. It is important to be able to budget and prepare for potential periods of unemployment.
