This week APC began a weekly survey in order to keep a pulse on the effect of COVID-19 on contractors and report it back to you. As we move week to week on this survey we will  track the individual sectors and the concerns and plans of businesses. In week 1 (results gathered from March 19-March 26) , stay at home orders in multiple states hit the industry pretty hard. See highlights from the survey below from week 1 below. Week 2 of the survey is now open. Even if you filled out the first survey, we ask that you fill out the survey for week 2, so we can report on the change in the market as events unfold. Take the new survey here.
