The number of unfilled job openings in the construction industry in the United States fell to ** in 2025, which was significantly lower than in 2022. However, those figures are still quite high in comparison to the number of unfilled vacancies earlier in the decade.

Still, those figures only represented a relatively small percentage of the overall number of construction employees in the U.S.
