The ACA’s monthly Industry Statistics Package is an inside look at key numbers detailing the important statistics within the construction industry that drive our province forward. Our statistics package acts as a valuable resource for all members of Alberta’s construction industry including workforce members, employers, and local associations. The latest edition highlights key metrics directly from Alberta’s construction industry, including the value of proposed projects, the number of construction employees, and the expected number of construction worker retirements by 2034.
