Brickmasons, blockmasons, and stonemasons |
 | | Stonemasons usually work on nonresidential structures, such as houses of worship, hotels, and office buildings, but they also work on residences. |
 | | Brickmasons, blockmasons, and stonemasons usually work outdoors, but in contrast to the past when work slowed down in the winter months, new processes and materials are allowing these masons to work in a greater variety of weather conditions. |
 | | Jobs for brickmasons, blockmasons, and stonemasons are also expected to increase about as fast as average for all occupations over the 2004-14 period, as population and business growth create a need for new houses, industrial facilities, schools, hospitals, offices, and other structures. |
