WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Spending on U.S. construction projects rose 0.2 percent in August, the Commerce Department estimated Wednesday.
The increase follows a similar 0.2 percent rise in July.
The gain was below Wall Street expectations of a 0.4 percent rise.
Construction spending was up 4.0 percent from August 2002.
So far in 2003, spending is up 2.1 percent from the first eight months of 2002.
Private construction spending rose 0.1 percent, including a 1.5 percent rise in residential spending to its highest level on record.
Nonresidential spending fell 2.7 percent in August, its biggest monthly drop in a year.
Spending in the public sector rose 0.6 percent to its highest level on record, led by record federal spending on residences and highways.
