Pasadena, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2012 -- Over the past year, positions in the construction industry have risen, giving construction workers something to be happy about during these uncertain economic times. In fact, twenty-eight different states saw gains in the construction industry, showing a definite improvement over 2011 numbers and showing the first increase since before the recession began in 2007.

Even though open positions are increasing for construction workers, it's still not easy out there to find work. That's why it's essential for people in the construction industry to use every tool they can to look for work. Hound.com is essential for the search because it gives job seekers access to positions that aren't readily accessible. Instead of pouring over positions listed on job sites or accepting ads from employers, Hound charges a small subscription fee from potential employees for access to positions taken directly from employer's websites.

Construction workers can browse through open positions in the construction industry that are listed directly on an employer's website. These are positions workers would likely have never found on their own without the aid of Hound or a tip from a friend at the hiring company.

At the moment, there are over 100,000 open positions listed on Hound.com and a handful of them are likely to be perfect for construction employees currently out of work. It would be a good idea to take advantage of the rise in open construction positions by utilizing a site like Hound to see every available opening.
