My area: zero commercial construction with one exception - a government water project. Limited residential housing starts anywhere around.
As for jobs... No significant new businesses have moved into the area, no new starts. Some minor layoffs/downsizing, some minor hiring. Perhaps the best thing that could be said is that it's not getting significantly worse as it has over the past 5 to 6 years or so. Definitely not getting any better either though. Everyone seems to be just hanging on. (barely)
What state?
