    Construction rebuilds its economic respect By Sue Kirchhoff, USA TODAY
    In the midst of a "jobless recovery," New Mexico last year created positions that pay well, have long-term potential and are hard to ship overseas.

    The source? It's not some sexy new-wave technology, but the old-school building trades.

    Construction has been the Rodney Dangerfield of the economy here and in many other areas of the nation - especially in the past year - expanding with impeccable timing but getting little respect from career counselors or development gurus.
