Group urges swift action on infrastructure package
Associated General Contractors of America Chief Economist Ken Simonson said lawmakers should take swift action on an economic stimulus package to offset job losses in the construction industry. "Many of those (job) losses have been in heavy and civil engineering construction -- highways and other public works," Simonson said. "Those workers could quickly be re-employed if the states had enough money to award contracts for projects they have ready to go."
