Construction, like all industries, is not immune to mental health issues and suicide. Construction has one of the highest rates of suicide at 53.2 per 100,000 U.S. workers, according to federal data. That's about four times the national average and roughly five times greater than all other construction fatalities combined.
AGC of America is committed to this cause and launched a new campaign highlighting the importance of addressing these issues plaguing the construction workforce.
