Mark Casaletto, vice-president and general manager of Reed Construction Data Canada, highlighted several trends in the construction industry including the rise of construction employment while manufacturing employment declines, and the fact that this construction boom is being driven in part by demand for Canadian resources by emerging economies across the world. Casaletto spoke at the Canadian Construction Association 94th annual conference in Savannah, Georgia.
