INSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Construction is one of the largest industries in the United States, accounting in recent years for about 10 percent of the nation's gross national product and providing employment for over 5 million Americans. Construction is an exciting, dynamic process that often provides high income for workers and contractors. However, its seasonal nature and widely fluctuating volume of work often results in reduced annual income. When combined with the industry's highly competitive nature, these factors often result in a high bankruptcy rate for the industry. In spite of these and other problems, construction provides an exciting career opportunity with many challenges and rewards.

The number of construction contractors in the United States has been estimated to exceed 800,000, but some 60 percent
