Welcome to the voice of America's news words.

This'll weeks News Word is about an important industry construction where there are cranes and projects like this one.

In Washington's waterfront district, there are jobs.

Ken Simonson says Construction employment is growing nearly twice as fast as the rest of the economy.

But the industry is at risk of stalling because there aren't a lot of construction workers with skills available to be hired.

Now, construction is the process of building something like a house, bridge or road.

If someone does this for a living, they are said to be in construction.

 If something is being built, it is said to be under construction.
