The U.S. single-family house construction market

Long description: This combination line/column graph shows the relationship between job creation and single-family housing starts in the U.S. from 1971 to 2013. The relationship is very tight until 2000, when a period of over-building begins which lasts until late 2007. After this time, a balancing period of under-building begins. A forecast demonstrates a likely return to an average market in mid-2015.
