The top five states with the lowest construction unemployment rates in January in order from lowest rate to highest rate were:

1. Georgia

2. Texas

3. Colorado

4. Virginia

5. South Carolina

Three states-Colorado, Georgia, and Virginia-were among the top five in December. Texas would have been the fourth repeat state, but data revisions lowered Hawaii's rate (which is for construction, mining and logging combined), pushing Texas out of fifth place into sixth place in December. Hawaii had the tenth highest rate in January (7 percent) along with Arizona.
