TEDMAG has posted the 2nd of two columns on data on contractors -- here are the particulars:

Part One: http://www.tedmag.com/default.asp?pagenumber=357

• contractor data 1998-2000 from County Business Patterns reports
• CPWR's Construction Chart Book avail. free online
• data about Ma & Pa electrical contractors
• 1975-2000 data on construction industry building segments

Part Two: http://www.tedmag.com/default.asp?pagenumber=361

• field employment in contracting, 2002
• field employment, by month, 96-02
• a stab at projecting contractor sales in 2002

and maybe, in here somewhere, a guess or six about what all of these numbers might mean.
