The table below provides employment figures for Reinforcing Iron and Rebar Workers by State and Metropolitan Area. To view figures for metropolitan areas (i.e. cities) in any given state, click on the name of that state.
Employment of ironworkers is projected to grow 9 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. The construction of large projects, such as high-rise buildings, is expected to drive employment growth, as will the need to rehabilitate, maintain, and replace an increasing number of older roads and bridges. Job opportunities should be best in metropolitan areas, where most large construction projects take place.
