In what is sure to mean more bad news for California, the Panama Canal's modernization project should be operating within the next year. Their new locks will recycle the water from Gatun Lake, instead of dumping the water into the ocean, thereby increasing the number of ships that can use the canal. Even better, the new locks will be able to run bigger ships through the Canal, including some of the giant container ships. 

What this means is that California will see reduced shipments to their harbors. That means reduced work. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
