Public Construction Relatively Unchanged

Highway construction was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $85.4 billion, 0.7 percent (plus or minus 6.2%)* below the revised December estimate of $86.1 billion.

In January, the estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate of public construction spending was $301.8 billion, 0.1 percent above the revised December estimate of $301.6 billion. With numbers like these, it will take some time to see growth in the landscape industry.

Educational construction was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $70.2 billion, 1.7 percent above the revised December estimate of $69 billion.
