Construction employment in Scotland saw boost in the three month period to June, according to new figures\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

Data published by the Office for National Statistics<\/span><\/a> (ONS) have revealed that in the three month period to June 2015 construction employment in Scotland rose by 9,000 to 176,000.<\/p>\n

The sector has undoubtedly enjoyed success recently. Figures published last week showed a record output for Scottish construction, reaching more than \u00a313bn in the 12 months to June.<\/p>\n

Scottish Building Federation<\/span><\/a> Managing Director Vaughan Hart said: \u201cIt is further good news for the Scottish construction industry that we\u2019ve seen a 5 per cent rise in industry employment during the second quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, construction employment still has some way to go to come anywhere close to pre-recession levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoupled with record levels of industry output, the number of jobs supported by every \u00a31 million of industry output has slipped from more than 20 prior to the recession to 13 over the 12 months to June this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, signs of increased productivity within the industry are to be welcomed. However, these latest figures reinforce our view that the main challenge Scottish construction now faces is to rebuild its skills and employment base by attracting more workers back into the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
