    Back-To-School?

    It's hard not to be reminded of the inevitable back-to-school "season". It seams they are marketing it at even the gas station these days! But as our children enter a pre-determined curriculum at grade school, many adult learners are simply looking for one that sounds appealing and offers a decent job outlook. I thought I'd spend these next few weeks researching and reporting on education opportunities and job statistics for women in construction -or home improvement- as I like to call it.

    Twice a week, throughout the month of August, I'll be posting ideas and information pertaining to education and job outlook for women interested in "construction" (it sounds so manly doesn't it?) Please feel free to email me or comment on this blog if there is a subject of particular interest to you during the August Fixie Chick blog series: "Back-To-School?".

    According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of wage and salary jobs in the construction industry is expected to grow 10 percent through the year 2016, compared with the 11 percent projected for all industries combined. Employment in this industry depends primarily on the level of construction and remodeling activity which is expected to increase over the coming decade.

    P.S. This will be a weekly topic of discussion on Home&Yard Radio with the Fixie Chick, Saturdays at 10am. WROC 950am. I welcome your questions or comments, please call 222-NEWS.
