When we were young, we built entire cities and neighborhoods from Legos and Lincoln Logs. In those moments of pure innovation, nothing was as impressive as what we could build by hand on the living room floor. But along the way, something changed. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we were taught that enrolling in the right college, choosing a safe major and landing the perfect internship are the stepping stones on the one and only path to success.
New construction starts in June grew 4% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $679.9 billion, according to Dodge Data & Analytics. Nonresidential building increased 13% in June, strengthening after two months of lackluster activity, and the nonbuilding construction sector rose 8% with the help of elevated activity for electric utilities.
