I am doing taxes for a construction worker and from what I have been researching, his out of town expenses are no longer deductible. Is this correct?

If he is an employee, his job-related expenses are no longer deductible.

Up to tax year 2017, job-related expenses were deductible as an itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI floor.

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the itemized deductions for job-related expenses subject to the 2% of AGI floor are suspended for expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 through 2025.
