The recent decline in the U.S. housing market is reflected by distinct job losses in select local areas and specific industries. By far the largest losses in residential
specialty trade contractors were in residential framing contractors, which lost 32,160 jobs (22.4%) between March 2006 and March 2007. Almost half of the national loss came
from five counties in the West and South.
