Thousands Of NB Construction Workers Have Jobs There Guaranteed

The money will go to rehabilitate New Brunswick's highways, rural roads and bridges, and tackle what some experts call an infrastructure deficit. "The road builders can be assured of stable, predictable funding that will enable you to tell your employees that you will have lots of work for them for the next three years," said Landry. "This is excellent news for the department and for the industry." The $180 million this year is part of the department's $340-million capital budget in 2008-09. Landry said it's the largest transportation department capital budget New Brunswick has seen. The budget will create more than 3,400 full-time, jobs in the road-construction industry and more than 3,300 indirect jobs, he said. http://dailygleaner.canadaeast.com/rss/article/184178
