The Phoenix Center released its 2025 aggregates industry scorecard on April 9, 2025.

The scorecard assessed the aggregates industry's impact on the U.S. economy at the national, state and county levels. This is an update to the Center's 2017 Scorecard, as it provides a new look at the economic advantages after the passage of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021.

The scorecard shares that the aggregates industry continues to be a significant contributor to our nation's economic well-being. The implementation of IIJA, which included approximately $350 billion for federal highway programs over a five-year period in states and federal projects, showcases the positive effects on the United States economy. The industry supports $171 billion in national sales, $55 billion in national earnings (i.e., labor compensation) and nearly 729,000 jobs across a wide range of occupations and industries.

"Our members provide and support the aggregates materials used for residential, commercial and government construction projects, as well as transportation infrastructure including roads, highways, bridges and railroads," said NSSGA Interim CEO Michele Stanley. "This scorecard proves that the growth of the aggregates industry is necessary for the growth of our overall economy."

The industry's economic impact creates a ripple effect on the broader economy. For every job in the aggregates industry, an additional 5.95 jobs across other industries are supported throughout the economy. Each dollar of earnings creates another $4.95 of earnings in other sectors and each dollar of industry sales produces another $3.29 of sales in other industries.
