		Construction, with 6.7 million wage and salary and 1.6 million self-employed and unpaid family nongovernment jobs in 2000, was one of the Nation’s largest industries.
		Finishing workers include carpenters; drywall installers, ceiling tile installers, and tapers; plasterers and stucco masons; segmental pavers; terrazzo workers; painters and paperhangers; glaziers; roofers; carpet, floor, and tile installers and finishers; and insulation workers.
		Employment in nonresidential construction is expected to grow a little faster than the rest of the industry because industrial construction activity is expected to be stronger as replacement of many industrial plants has been delayed for years, and a large number of structures will have to be replaced or remodeled.

		Employment of construction managers is expected to grow as a result of advances in building materials and construction methods, as well as a proliferation of laws dealing with building construction, worker safety, and environmental issues.

		The indoor air quality construction plan is also a good opportunity to proscribe behaviors unacceptable to the owner that represent a potentially negative impact on long term indoor air quality such as smoking, using chew tobacco, or wearing contaminated work clothes.
		Some construction activities can release large amounts of VOCs into the school, and if the school is already enclosed with walls, windows, and doors, outdoor air can no longer easily flow through the building and remove the VOCs.
		In addition to affecting the health of the construction workers, these VOCs can also be adsorbed onto other building materials and be re-released into the air later when the school is occupied by children and staff.
