Jason Weeks, vice president/district manager with Brasfield & Gorrie and member of TEXO's Board of Directors, was featured as one of 12 rising stars in the industry by Construction Executive in their October 2019 issue. In the article, Jason mentions that over the next 10 years of his career, he plans to "strive to operate with a sense of integrity and transparency," and he hopes that he "can further instil these values into our industry, especially on a localized level in Dallas." We are so proud to have such incredible members working together to elevate our industry. Congratulations, Jason!

Returning to civilian life from military service can be rocky. Veterans forge myriad skills while serving, but it can be challenging to tailor that expertise to nonmilitary jobs and even harder to use it to launch a career. Yet the construction industry's labor shortage is only intensifying and experts say that veterans often have experience suitable for not only jobs in construction, but careers.

The most recent financial news from construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar could have been better. The company's third quarter sales and revenues decreased 6% to $12.8 billion year over year, and profit per share was down 8% to $2.66. Caterpillar told Reuters that one reason sales are down is that customers are hesitant to make large purchases amid the U.S. and China trade war. The original equipment manufacturer even anticipates the slowdown in sales to continue into the fourth quarter and its grim outlook has even resulted in it having to lay off 120 temporary workers at its Victoria, Texas, plant.
