Growth

Declining growth
|
|
The employment of masons is linked to the overall demand for new building and road construction. Masonry, such as brick and stone, is still popular in both interior and exterior applications, but changes in products and installation practices are expected to decrease the need for masons. Also, increased installation of polished concrete will shift some work from terrazzo workers to cement masons and concrete finishers.
