What could I earn? Job openings grow as construction sector rebounds
Now is a very good time to be considering a career in construction. The sector is on the rise again in Ireland.
There are now 116,700 people working in construction in Ireland. What’s more, that number will rise over the coming years. The Government is targeting the creation of an extra 60,000 construction jobs by 2020. That will create a lot of opportunities for people looking to begin their career. What other sector will provide so many possibilities for those who are completing their education?
A growing industry always creates more jobs and no sector will grow as quickly in Ireland as construction will over the next few years.
