The construction workers whose main concern is high salary should not choose Colorado, the number two in our list of best states for construction managers, since the wage is around the national average. The state is ranked high on this list because it has the third highest number of constructors per 1,000 residents and it will see second largest job growth for the occupation by 2024.
