Employment in specialty trade contractors rose by 26,000 in January,
and constituted the bulk of the job gain within construction. Within the
industry, residential specialty trade contractors added 14,000 jobs, which
is consistent with the Census Bureau’s report that housing starts rose 12.1
percent in December. The National Association of Home Builders also
reported that its Remodeling Market Index in the fourth quarter of 2012
was the highest reading since the first quarter of 2004.
Employment in nonresidential specialty trade contractors (NAICS

Information employment edged up
(+9,000) in January, with small
movements occurring in most component
industries. Telecommunications added
5,000 jobs over the month. This gain
represents a departure from the industry’s
long-term trend of job loss. Despite
occasional monthly upticks,
telecommunications employment has
fallen by 607,000 since last reaching a
high point in March 2001. Wired
telecommunications carriers accounted
for about two-thirds of jobs lost over this
period.
