And the beat goes on.

According to an article from the Associated Press, this latest spike has pushed total activity to the highest point since the fall of 2008.
Of all the major categories, non-residential building saw the biggest rise at 1.5 percent, which reflected increases in spending on the construction of hotels, manufacturing facilities and amusement parks. Additionally, spending on government projects was up 0.7 percent and residential construction spending rose 0.3 percent. According to the Commerce Department, spending was up in May across all major categories and the gains pushed totaled activity to a seasonally adjusted rate of $1.04 trillion, the best mark since October 2008.
