Industry Recovery? Wait Until Next Year.
By Gary Tulacz, ENR Magazine


The construction industry has been suffering for two years through the toughest recession in 20 years, perhaps longer.

But they now are starting to believe that a recovery should begin next year. The ENR Construction Industry Confidence Index (CICI) for the first quarter of 2010 shows that executives from 705 construction and design firms are not confident that the recession will end in 2010, but that recovery will commence a slow and steady climb this year and into 2011.
