Non-residential construction payrolls hit new high, Eric Basmajian notes
Non-residential construction payrolls reach record

Eric Basmajian reports that non-residential construction payrolls have reached a new high. Residential construction payrolls, in contrast, are currently near a cycle low.

Basmajian previously observed that most major U.S. recessions since 1970 have included the largest drawdowns in housing and durable goods, with the 2001 downturn as a notable exception. He has also identified cyclical payrolls as a key indicator for assessing shifts in economic momentum. These past findings provide context for current trends in construction employment.
