June Construction Retreats Seven Percent Year-To-Date Construction Starts Unadjusted Totals, In Millions $ The bad news is that the overall volume of activity remains very weak; the good news is that if an up-and-down pattern is in fact being established, it marks a shift from the steady decline witnessed during the second half of 2008 and into early 2009.

July 21, 2009 New construction starts in June dropped seven percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $385.4 billion, according to McGraw-Hill Construction, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies. Nonresidential building weakened further, and public works construction fell back after its elevated May pace. In contrast, residential building showed improvement in June, continuing to edge upward after the very depressed activity reported at the outset of 2009. The construction start figures appear to be moving more towards an up-and-down pattern, stated Robert A. Murray, vice president of economic affairs for McGraw-Hill Construction.
