Economic Reports Released

Housing starts in September 2006 were at a seasonally annual adjusted rate of 1,772,000, up 5.9% from August and down 17.9% from September 2005. Permits were 1,619,000, down 6.3% from last month and down 27.7% from one year ago.

Real average weekly earnings rose by 1.0 percent from August to September after seasonal adjustment. This increase stemmed from a 0.2 percent rise in average hourly earnings and a 0.7 percent decline in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Average weekly hours were unchanged.

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.5 percent in September, before seasonal adjustment. The September level of 202.9 (1982-84=100) was 2.1 percent higher than in September 2005.
