by AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA


Drawing from material supplied to the AIA by the economics consulting firm, economy.com, and from surveys of AIA members, the report addresses the effect of the broader economy on the rebuilding of the Katrina-stricken Gulf Region as well as a likely timetable for the construction. It presents separate economic and construction indicators for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, plus materials price estimates and the labor outlook for the region.
