Construction Sector Growth Reflected in Purchasing Price Index

13 Apr 2015

The growth rate in the construction sector increased in March 2015, which was reflected by an increase in purchasing manager's prices in the industry.

The data was released as part of the most recent Ulster Bank Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index, and the areas with the strongest increases were housing and commercial projects. The bank predicted that the sector will continue to improve in 2015, which will result in an expected increase in job opportunities for Civil Engineering graduates.
