This may just be a localized thing, but housing construction here is not slowing down. My in-laws own a construction business and they're the busiest they've ever been. Their biggest challenge is hiring and getting supplies.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoI think there are signs that the economy is balakanizing, and that is not a good thing. We see the same thing near us: construction and landscaping are booming. In some other places, I hear that there is no work in that profession. The same appears to be happening to companies, with Facebook down 20% today while oil companies see no signs of recession.
