Contractors Still Positive About Growth As Summer Comes
To An End.
The
Contractor Comfort Index (CCI) for August shows that
contractors are remaining positive about short-term
growth even as the summer heat is start ing
to fade. ACCA began measuring contractor attitudes
toward short-term economic growth with the CCI in
February 2010.
For August 2012, the CCI is 60. The CCI also shows that
contractors are feeling better about growth than they
were 12 months earlier when the CCI was 53..

The CCI is
calculated based on a survey of the association’s
contractor members, who are asked how positive they feel
about new business prospects, existing business
activity, and expected staffing decisions in the
short-term future. Weighted and averaged into one
number, a CCI of 50 or above reflects anticipated
growth.
The CCI is released prior to the start of each month;
the next index number will be released during the last
week of September.
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) is a
non-profit association serving more than 60,000
