ABC’s Construction Backlog Indicator is the only economic indicator that reflects the amount of work that will be performed by commercial and industrial construction contractors in the months ahead. The Construction Confidence Index is a diffusion index that signals construction contractors’ expectations for sales, profit margins and staffing levels. View the methodology for both indicators. 

Due to the federal government shutdown, no monthly construction economic data will be collected and no reports will be issued until sometime after the government reopens. Because ABC will not receive any of the data that the government releases on construction spending, jobs openings, employment, state unemployment or materials prices, these ABC releases are also paused.
