NEW YORK - Construction hiring is picking up as Americans invest in renovating their homes amid signs that the worst of the housing- market declines may be over. The number of people working in residential remodeling grew 5.8 percent in December to 250,700 from a year earlier, based on preliminary data released this month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This was the highest growth for these jobs, which account for about 5 percent of construction employment, since December 2006, before the housing bubble burst.
