I have not seen this posted in any of the SEO/SEM forums, conduct a search on construction new york in Yahoo! Search. You see Yahoo! brings up local yellow page results at the top, very much like Google.

Is this on purpose? Well, Google serves up the same local results for both construction new york and new york construction.
