However, that was not the end of the town’s growth phase. Census reports from as recently as 2016 estimated that the population had grown by more than 4% over the year before – a trend that is expected to continue well beyond 2020.
When communities experience the type of growth that Carrolton has recently, there’s one thing that they need – more homes, businesses and community amenities. The increased demand for housing and commercial structures spells opportunity for those who work in the construction industry.

We know that if you’ve ever been to Carrollton that you probably don’t need any extra incentive to call the town your home. However, you should also know that construction careers in Texas have a higher than average rate of pay compared to the rest of the country.

This makes Carrollton the perfect home base for all types of medical professionals, including those just starting out in their careers.
