Construction Spending Rose 0 8 in October
Led by strong private sector gains, construction spending rose 0.8% in October according to a Census Bureau report released this morning. The growth is stronger than September’s weak 0.2% but remains at relatively low levels.
Private construction led the gain, growing by 2.3%, its fastest rate since May. Private residential construction was the primary contributor to the growth, up 3.4% from September. Non-residential growth was strong as well, growing 1.3%. Public construction spending proved a drag on growth falling 1.8%.
