ABC: September's nonresidential spending slip no cause for concern

Nonresidential construction spending fell in September for the first time in eight months, the U.S. Census Bureau reported, but the monthly drop in spending is not a cause for concern according to analysis by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). Nonresidential construction spending fell by 0.1% from August, totaling $692.8 billion on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis.
