Job counts are BLS OEWS survey estimates built from three years of samples, so moves of a few percent from one year to the next are within the survey's margin. Self-employed tradespeople are not counted. Areas with fewer than 3,000 jobs or a large sampling error are shown as a single figure rather than a trend.

+1.6%US projected growth2025-35, BLS, for comparison
Georgia's labor market agency projects the number of cement masons in the state to change by +6.5% between 2024 and 2034, from 2,590 to 2,760, with about 200 openings a year. Nationally, BLS projects +1.6% over 2025-35. State counts include the self-employed and use a different base year, so they do not match the 3,400 counted by the BLS employer survey.
