May ’07 construction was down 2.8% compared to May ’06, yet there were still sizeable upward revisions to construction employment (and in June, too): http://www.census.gov/const/C30/release.pdf
The employment numbers are hard to believe, and I presume that they will be adjusted downward, just as they were last year.
Also, LAr-, would you please consider making your ‘handle’ religiously neutral so as to not offend, please?
