Federal Stimulus Reference Guide

In response to a struggling economy and paralleling the Obama Administration’s decision to invest money in Infrastructure construction through the Federal Stimulus initiative ConstructionJobs.com has compiled the links listed below as a reference guide to serve you in this volatile time.

The results produced a list of ten websites and resources which, when mined properly, can educate job seekers and construction professionals alike as we respond to the markets that are emerging as 2009 moves forward, making us aware of coming projects and leading us to focus our employment efforts on these business segments.

After sifting through hundreds of websites pointing to coming Infrastructure work, we pared our work to a list of eight websites and resources.

The websites listed here provide easy-to-navigate routes to projects that will be built and which point to an emphasis on our nation’s infrastructure.

1. Individual State’s Websites (See below for those 50 links)
2. StimulusWatch.org
3. Wall Street Journal Map
4. AmericanProgress.org
5. FBO.org
6. Recovery.gov
7. ConstructionWebLinks.com
8. GovExec.com
