Overall
construction
spending in the United
States increased by 0.8 percent during October,
to a seasonally adjusted and annualized rate (SAAR )
of $908.4 billion. The increase derived solely from a 3.9 percent advance in public
construction spending. Private construction spending, by contrast, retreated
for a third time in the last four months -- by 0.5 percent (the most since
April). Both residential (-0.6 percent, the most since July) and
non-residential (-0.5 percent) spending declined.

full complement of construction-related reports in January, when the Census
Bureau has returned to a more normal report schedule in the wake of the partial
Federal government shutdown.
