Job Losses Aren't Just in Construction

An article in the Denver Post is asserting that the construction industry is making the unemployment situation worse. Interesting. What about the 600+ workers the airlines just announced they are dumping? Or the people who will lose their jobs when the Greeley Kmart closes? Or all the Starbucks employees who are losing their jobs as 600 Starbucks are closed across the nation. Or the 17,000 people Siemens is laying off? Somehow I don't think the residential construction industry delaying 36 residential construction projects is having any more impact on the unemployment situation than any other industry is having with its layoffs. It's the whole economy, not just one sector.
