Construction expands in August: Pete Wargent

Now the construction sector is expanding again per AIG.
 
Some good analysis from AIG that is well worth a read - apartment construction is an obvious strong point, which makes the drag on second quarter GDP by dwelling construction something of a mystery.
 
Perhaps the residential construction industry is operating at or close to its full capacity?
 
In any case, I expect dwelling construction to contribute to the economic growth in the third quarter.
