In an applied course about time series analysis I would like to use the
dataset 'hstart': 
>> US Housing Starts
>> SUMMARY:
>>        U. S. Housing Starts, monthly, January  1966  to  December
>>        1974.
>> SOURCE:
>>        U. S. Bureau of the Census, Construction Reports.
> hstart
        Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul   Aug   Sep   Oct   Nov   Dec
1966:  81.9  79.0 122.4 143.0 133.9 123.5 100.0 103.7  91.9  79.1  75.1  62.3
1967:  61.7  63.2  92.9 115.9 134.2 131.6 126.1 130.2 125.8 137.0 120.2  83.1


Can someone give me more details? Especially what does 81.9 (Jan 1966)
really mean? Measurement in thousands or otherwise transformed?

Many Thanks

Markus
