For the third time in four months, the number of construction jobs in the United States increased. Rising 1.2 percent in November, the industry outperformed predictions from a number of experts, including those at Bloomberg. Public expenditures also grew, indicating that Americans may be loosening the grip on their budgets a bit.
"Residential construction and even business construction have been favorable,” Russell Price, a senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Inc., told the news source. "I expect that to continue."
It's important to be prepared for any jobs that may come along in 2012, and so it may not be a bad idea to find construction equipment to replace any items that may be starting to show their age. IronPlanet's marketplace has made buying used construction equipment simple.
Best of all, items with IronClad Assurance are guaranteed to be properly represented on the auction page. A local representative will personally visit the item and perform a thorough visual inspection. He will also take between 50 and 100 photographs, all of which can be easily viewed on the auction page.
