Salaries in Southern Nevada's booming construction sector continued their upward climb this year.

In its 1999 salary survey, Contractors and Builders Personnel reports that 80 percent of the construction companies surveyed planned to increase salaries. In 1998, the report found 72 percent of participants granted salary hikes. The third annual survey contains information received from 45 companies in Nevada's construction industry.
