Beyond Housing : A discussion with Robert Murray, chief economist, McGraw-Hill Construction

January 04, 2007  |  from ConstructionCast from McGraw-Hill Construction

With so much talk of a slump in housing, the rest of the construction picture was getting obscured. ENR.com’s Senior Business Editor, Richard Korman, and McGraw-Hill Construction Chief Economist Robert Murray talk about the nuances of the housing decline, what consumer trends are driving retail development, why demand still is high despite inflation, why offices still are vibrant although not as high as historic peaks, hot cities, the sharp upswing in power-related construction and how the Democrat-controlled Congress affects the picture in transportation.
