"The construction sector is seemingly shrugging off the fear of higher interest rates and a potential recession," said Richard Branch, chief economist for Dodge Construction Network. "Many building sectors have made the turn from weakness to recovery as underlying economic growth and hiring are solid. With the pipeline of projects in planning continuing to expand, this trend should continue in the months to come. However, the concern that the Federal Reserve will force the U.S. into recession later this year may thwart the momentum in construction starts. While recession is not our baseline forecast, it can not be fully discounted."
Below is the breakdown for construction starts:
Regionally, total construction starts in April rose in the Northeast, South Atlantic, and South Central regions, but fell in the Midwest and West.
