Boost to infrastructure spending will create jobs and stimulate activity across the economy
"Ai Group welcomes reports that the Federal Government will boost infrastructure spending over the next few years. Extra infrastructure work will create new jobs and will lift demand for the wide range of products and services supplied to the engineering construction industry. These impacts can be expected to multiply through the broader economy. The boost comes at a time when activity in engineering construction has been falling and when labour market growth has been slowing," Innes Willox, Chief Executive of Ai Group said today.
