Growth

Slower than average growth

Population growth should result in more new-home construction - one of the largest segments employing carpenters - which will create some jobs for carpenters. Construction of factories and power plants is also expected to result in some new jobs over the decade. However, the increasing popularity of modular and prefabricated components and homes reduces the need for carpenters to build and install them onsite.
