Housing Starts Jump in November

Housing starts leaped 22.7 percent in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.09 million units, the Commerce Department reported yesterday. Starts were 29.6 percent above their rate a year ago. However, permits for new construction, which are considered a gauge of future demand, fell 3.1 percent to an annual rate of 1.01 million.
