The 2023 Governor’s Cups
1 Mar 2024
Maybe it’s a coincidence, or maybe not. But the two states with the highest construction employment increases between December 2022 and December 2023 are the same states claiming the 2023 Governors’ Cups for total qualified projects and total projects per capita.
Texas wins its 12th consecutive Cup for total projects, weighing in at 1,254 — more than twice the number in second-place Illinois, which logged 552. Rounding out the top five are Ohio (462), California (374) and Georgia (318). Texas also saw the largest increase in construction jobs in 2023, at 32,800 or 4.3% more than the previous year, according to Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) data released in January 2024.
