Construction isn't just about building a building. It's about renovating your restaurant. It's about adding space into a place you're currently in. What retailer is going to shut down during boom times to build, needing to pay higher costs for building due to demand and lose sales when things are going gang busters? They wait for a lull in the economy then build out, unless they absolutely have to build out. Like a business just takes off and not expanding will cost them far more than waiting.
Does Macy's make the renovations at Valley Fair or does Westfield Group?

Does Dupont lease their chemical plant?
Is the westfield group going to make renovations when they're fully rented out, or when there is slack time?
Macys would be in charge of renovating internally for sure, and would they shut down their stores during the christmas rush to do this? No. How about a good strong year? no...

Does anyone understand how the unemployment numbers are being calculated?
I keep reading “weekly intial unemployment claims” reports with about 500,000 people filing
claims, yet the “monthly unemployment” numbers are only around 250,000 to 600,000.
Wouldn't 500,000 “new claims” per week translate to about 2,000,000 job losses per month?
What am I missing here?
