According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), more people than ever are choosing to work in the construction industry. In fact, the AGC has found that construction employment is at a 10-year high, with more than 280,000 new jobs added in the past year alone.
While the popularity of working on construction sites continues to grow, a decade-long study of almost 1.5 million American construction workers conducted by the Center for Construction Research and Training discovered that the construction industry accounts for the second-highest number of workers being affected by hearing impairment.
