this is a bit of a puzzle -- I guess everything is getting more volatile

>>Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 6.9 percent in the second quarter, in contrast to a
decrease of 4.4 percent in the first. Nonresidential structures increased 4.8 percent, in contrast to a
decrease of 2.9 percent. Equipment and software increased 7.5 percent<<

would like to know how much of the total was structures ...
that seems like a road to nowhere -- the equipment and software seems huge, but is that measured in dollars or hedonic funny money??
