Community Choice Aggregation Feasibility Analysis Alameda County <br />June, 2016 40 MRW & Associates, LLC <br />Current Population Survey – Earnings Report (2014) which for California shows approximately 20 percent of construction employment is engaged in work ‘covered’ by a CBA.42 Again those <br />working under a CBA need not all be union members. The Construction sector activity in the <br />two-region REMI model is therefore a blend of work, (20:80) covered-to-non-covered projects. <br />Table 18shows average annual direct and total job impacts by scenario and how many occur in the Construction sector and which would be “covered” by a CBA. Because the direct construction jobs (in particular) vary markedly from year to year (depending upon if a generation <br />project is under construction or not, it is informative to look at a single year). Table 19 shows the <br />construction jobs in 2023, the peak year for direct construction activity. As the table shows, <br />when a project is utility-scale is under construction, the construction jobs increase to about ten times the average number. <br /> <br /> Table 18.
