Unemployment Rate Falls to 14.5 Percent, a Four Year Low AGC of America, Inc. reported that the construction industry lost 2,000 jobs in April, following similar declines of 3,000 in March and 1,000 in February, but still added 63,000 jobs over the past year as the industry unemployment rate shrank to 14.5 percent—the lowest April level in four years, according to an analysis of new federal employment data released today by the Associated General Contractors of America.

investment sags; pay rises slowly (April 24, 2012) AGC of America, Inc.reported that real (net of inflation) gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.2% in the first quarter of 2012 after rising 3.0% in the previous quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported today. Real gross private investment in structures slumped 12% after dipping 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011. (BEA includes wells and mineshafts in structures.) Real residential investment jumped 19% in the latest quarter and 12% in the prior quarter. First-quarter gains may have been aided by mild winter weather as well as multifamily construction. Real government investment in structures fell 4.7% and 4.2%, respectively. The GDP price index climbed 1.5%, following a rise of 0.9%. The price index for private structures investment rose 2.6% and 4.3%, respectively. The price index for residential investment declined 1.5% after inching up 0.2%. The price index for government structures investment increased 3.2% and 5.2%, respectively. Read More |
