Forecast of Construction Rise Boosts Postwar Economy
Washington reports a Federal Reserve Board forecast of further moderate increases in construction work. The move supports Tobin’s claim of nearly 1,000,000 more jobs this year as construction employs over 2,000,000 midyear. The report ties housing gains to lower rates and cheaper mortgages, while noting overall GNP declines from the prior quarter.
