The construction industry is much less active than this time a year ago. The New Hampshire Business Review reports that the information service, McGraw Hill Construction, pegs work on commercial projects as off by 34% from April 2008. Housing is worse -- 51% down from last year.

Stimulus spending has given transportation work a big boost -- 43% higher than April 2008.
