The construction sector in Australia continued to contract in November, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from the Australian Industry Group showed on Wednesday with a Performance of Construction Index score of 46.6.
That's up from 45.7 in October, although it remains beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
All four of the sectors contracted, including apartment, house, engineering and commercial building.
Among the sub-components, new orders, employment and deliveries all contracted, while input prices, selling prices, wages and capacity utilization expanded.
