Infrastructure jobs

I have been searching for articles about the jobs that would be generated by government spending on infrastructure and I found this 1994 article in Monthly Labor Review published by the US Department of Labor. Link is http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1994/04/contents.htm
I know this seems a little old but the source is probably not biased.
