GOLD SPONSOR MEMBER HIGHLIGHT
Each year PCEA reaches out to companies in our membership to help sponsor our
programs and events. Every year without fail Kelly Stanton and Prestige Concrete
have been ready and willing to contribute. For more than 5 years they have been
a Gold Sponsor. Kelly Stanton himself is part of the back bone that keeps PCEA
growing strong. He was born in Albany New York, and has owned and sold several
precast concrete businesses in upstate New York. One hundred years after his great
grandfather graduated in the first class of Iowa State University, he became the
fourth generation to graduate from ISU. Family is very important to Kelly as is evident
in his love and devotion to his two beautiful daughters. Formerly Sales & Operations
Manager for Ready Mix- CEMEX, he has now been the Commercial Sales & Marketing Manager for Prestige Concrete since 2009.
PCEA would like to thank all
our sponsors for supporting us
throughout the year.
GOLD SPONSORS
In Kelly’s own words, “I love selling concrete. The people I work with and the individuals I am lucky enough to have
as customers are truly my friends. I belong to multiple industry organizations throughout Florida, but the best, by
far, is PCEA. PCEA is well run and has great monthly attendance, augmented with fun events. A great group and
I am fortunate to be a member. Our sponsorship has been the best investment our company has made. I really
appreciate all that PCEA has done for us.”
It goes without saying that those sentiments are echoed back to him from everyone at PCEA. He is an honored
member and it is PCEA that deeply appreciates all that you have done for us over these many years. Thank you
Kelly Stanton and Prestige Concrete.

CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYMENT INCREASES, DEMAND REMAINS STRONG
Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. and Monroe, Mich. Top
Growth List While Midland, Texas and Bloomington, Ill. Have
Largest Declines; Worker Shortages May be Limiting Gains in
Some Areas
Construction employment rose between April 2015 and April
2016 in two-thirds of the nation’s metro areas, while spending
on most types of structures increased for the year despite a
drop in the latest month, according to a new analysis of federal
data on employment and construction spending released today by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials said that many parts of the country continue to
benefit from strong demand for construction services.
“Construction growth remains widely distributed by location
and project type,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief
economist. “However, job gains were uneven: many states included metros with large gains but also areas that lost jobs.
Some of those metros might have added construction jobs if
contractors had been able to find enough qualified workers.
The dearth of skilled construction workers in many areas
threatens to hold down the extent of job gains in the coming
months.”
There were construction employment gains in the past year in
235 out of 358 metro areas, losses in 67 areas, and no change
in 56. Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. added the most construction jobs (14,900 jobs, 17 percent), followed by Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (8,800 jobs, 15 percent); New
York City (7,800 jobs, 6 percent); and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (7,200 jobs, 7 percent). The largest percentage
gains occurred in Monroe, Mich. (30 percent, 700
jobs); El Centro, Calif. (26 percent, 700 jobs); Urban Honolulu, Hawaii (20 percent, 5,000 jobs) and
Haverhill-Newburyport-Amesbury Town, Mass.N.H. (20 percent, 800 jobs).
The largest job losses from April 2015 to April
2016 were in Midland, Texas (-2,200 jobs, -8 percent), followed by Odessa, Texas (-1,900 jobs, -11
percent) and Omaha-Council Bluffs, Neb.-Iowa
(-1,800 jobs, -7 percent). The largest percentage
declines were in Bloomington, Ill. (-31 percent,
-1,100 jobs); Dothan, Ala. (-16 percent, -500 jobs)
and Fairbanks, Alaska (-14 percent, -400 jobs).
Construction spending increased 4.5 percent from
April 2015 to April 2016 despite a drop of 1.8 percent from March to April, Simonson noted. Private
residential spending increased 8.0 percent over
the year; private nonresidential spending climbed
3.4 percent; and public construction spending rose
1.2 percent.
Association officials said both sets of data reflect
relatively strong market conditions for the construction sector. The two main industry concerns
remain the availability of qualified workers and the
need for new investments in aging infrastructure.
They added that the group would continue to push
elected officials to act on its Workforce Development Plan and pass aviation and water resources
development bills.
“While few cities have returned to their prior
peak levels, construction head counts continue
to climb in most areas,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer.
“Federal, state and local officials should focus on
enacting measures to recruit and prepare future
workers and improve aging airports, water systems and other public infrastructure.”
