HOUSTON THE ECONOMY
AT A GLANCE s Just Yet Houston s June unemployment rate stood at 9.0 percent, up from 8.2 percent in May. The increase cause for alarm, though. It reflects historical patterns stemming largely from teens seeking summer work and the expiration of 10-month contracts for many teachers. Hou unemployment rate has increased from May to June for the past 10 years, the increase typically ranging from 0.4 to 0.9 percent, with 0.65 percent being the average. Th 0.8 percent increase, while slightly above the norm, may reflect discouraged workers returning to the job market. June Unemployment Rate, Houston MSA And Change from Previous Month Year June Rate Change From May 02 6.6 +0.7 03 7.6 +0.9 04 6.7 +0.6 05 5.7 +0.4 06 5.5 +0.5 07 4.6 +0.6 08 5.0 +0.6 09 8.2 +0.9 10 8.7 +0.5 11 9.0 +0.8 Source: Texas Workforce Commission According to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) methodology, if people stop seeking work (which many did during the recession), they aren t counted as unemployed. As the economy recovers, which is clearly the case in Houston, discouraged workers will reenter the job market and the unemployment rate goes up. That June, the civilian labor force grew by 20,800 workers at the same time. Ironically, , it may continue to report high unemployment rates. The Uneven Jobs Recovery , when the recession ended here, the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown Metropolitan Statistical Area has recouped 118,300 jobs, or about three-fourths of the 152,800 lost during the recession.2 But 2 This is a seasonally unadjusted number. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the region lost fewer jobs 121,200 and has since recovered 92,400 of them, or 76.2 percent. However, seasonally adjusted data is not available for the individual industry sectors so any analysis of the employment must be performed on unadjusted data..

HOUSTON THE ECONOMY
AT A GLANCE the recovery has been uneven. Four sectors personal services, health care, accommodation and food services, and educational services have recovered all jobs lost and continue to grow. Employment in those sectors stands above their pre-recession peaks. In contrast, four sectors finance, construction, real estate, and information have recovered less than one-fifth of their losses. Given recent trends, it will be some time before those sectors return to their previous peaks. So influencing recovery? % Jobs Lost Recovered So Far Other Services +100% Health Care +100% Hotels & Food Services +100% Education Services +100% Arts, Entertainment 98.3% Administrative Support 90.0% Utilities 80.0% Oil & Gas 68.2% Wholesale Trade 51.5% Retail Trade 50.9% Professional Services 45.8% Manufacturing 39.2% Transport & Warehouse 20.4% Information 16.4% Real Estate 16.4% Construction 14.1% Finance 0.0% Source: Texas Workforce Commission, July 2011 the region adds nearly 120,000 residents per year the demand for services continues to grow. The other services sector includes auto and household repairs, salons and barber shops, dry cleaning, funeral services and religious, business, civic and social organizations. This sector lost 3,700 jobs in the recession, but has created 5,900 during the recovery. Health care never lost jobs during the recession. This sector added 16,000 jobs and another 8,900 jobs from the trough to the present. Two factors create a growing demand for health care a growing population, noted above, and an aging population. As -plus population grows by 15,000 residents each year, its demand for health care services will grow as well. August 2011 ©2011, Greater Houston Partnership Page 3

HOUSTON THE ECONOMY
AT A GLANCE Accommodation and food services lost 13,700 jobs in the recession but has added more than Personal services, health care, 20,600 jobs in the recovery. The bulk of the accommodations and food growth has occurred in food services, again services, and educational services supported by the growing population, and by now employ more workers than growing consumer confidence, at least locally. they did prior to the recession. At The restoration of corporate travel budgets the opposite end of the spectrum, slashed during the recession has helped finance, construction, real estate Houston recover two-thirds of the jobs lost in and information have yet to accommodations. experience significant job growth. Education services also never lost jobs during the recession. It added 1,200 jobs from peak to trough and another 1,200 from trough to the present. Many workers, fearful of losing their jobs, enrolled in classes to upgrade their skills and increase their value to their employers. Those who had already lost jobs returned to school to increase their marketability or acquired skills for career changes. Arts, entertainment and recreation lost 5,700 jobs during the recession. Uncer- tain about their financial futures, many consumers reduced their discretionary spending. The collapse of the stock market and dramatic fall in corporate profits reduced grants and other funds available to the arts community. Currently, the sector appears to have recovered all the jobs lost in the recession; however unclear whether this is a true recovery or the artifice of measuring job growth during the summer peak season. Administrative support lost 28,200 jobs in the recession. This sector includes office administrative services, temporary help, security services, and janitorial and waste management services. The bulk of the losses occurred in two subsectors employment services and services to buildings. During layoffs, contract workers are the first to be let go. Also, there was less need to clean space vacated during the recession. As the economy improves, employers reluctant to hire full-time permanent workers have taken on contract workers to handle increased business. The office market is experiencing positive absorption, which means there is more occupied space to be cleaned. As a result, 23,000 jobs have been recouped, including all those in building services and two-thirds of those in employment services. Utilities lost the fewest jobs of any sector. Of the 500 lost, 400 have been recovered. This sector has benefited from continued population growth and the generally improving economy. August 2011 ©2011, Greater Houston Partnership Page 4

HOUSTON THE ECONOMY
AT A GLANCE The collapse of oil prices from near $150 a barrel to a low near $35 a barrel contributed to the loss of 2,900 oil and gas extraction jobs. The price collapse led to a drilling collapse, which was exacerbated by the Gulf of Mexico drilling moratorium. Oil field services lost 12,700 jobs. The recovery in oil prices and the frenetic pace of drilling in the oil and gas shale plays have rejuvenated the industry, recouping all the extraction jobs and 7,300 of the service jobs. The recession brought a decline in global trade. In dollar terms, trade through the Houston-Galveston Customs District dropped by one-third, contributing to a loss of 10,100 jobs in wholesale trade. Most of the loss occurred in durable goods, mainly machinery and equipment, as companies cut back capital expenditures. The rebound in global trade and the need to restock depleted inventories has led to wholesale trade recouping 5,200 of the jobs lost in the recession. Retail trade is highly sensitive to job growth, income growth and consumer confidence. All three plummeted during the recession. As a result, local merchants cut 22,200 jobs. Recent local job growth, especially in well-paid industries such as energy, has generated increasing retail sales and subsequently rising retail employment. This sector has recouped 11,300 of the jobs lost in the recession. Professional services lost 14,400 jobs. Engineering was especially hard hit as companies delayed or canceled major projects. Job growth in accounting, engineering and legal services remains weak. Computer systems design has created as many jobs (1,700) as these three sectors combined. As a whole, this sector has recouped 6,600 of the jobs it lost. When consumers and businesses stop buying, manufacturer simple as that. The downturn in drilling activity reduced the need for oil field equipment. The drop-off in construction reduced the need for structural steel. These two industries accounted for more than half the jobs lost in manufacturing, which numbered 29,300 by the end of the recession. Conversely, those two sectors account for 8,200 of the 11,300 jobs recovered so far. The reduction in global trade, the drop in manufacturing activity and the cutback in retail sales contributed to the loss of 9,800 transportation and warehousing jobs. Thus far, 2,000 have been recouped. Given the strong customs district traffic, it s The information sector includes newspapers, periodicals, books, directories, software, motion pictures, sound recording, radio and television broadcasting, wireless telecommunications and data processing services. This sector lost 6,100 jobs. The recession exacerbated a long-term trend: the industry has been losing August 2011 ©2011, Greater Houston Partnership Page 5

HOUSTON THE ECONOMY
AT A GLANCE jobs nation their news and information. Real estate lost 6,100 jobs in the recession. Declining home sales and weak office leasing hit the industry hard. On an annual basis, 28,000 fewer homes are being sold now than at the peak. The office market endured 2½ years of negative absorption. Demand for housing and office space is improving, but remains weak. Only 1,000 of the jobs lost have been recouped so far. Construction suffered the greatest job cuts of all sectors, losing 39,800 from peak to trough one in every four local jobs lost in the recession. The end of subprime financing, severe job cuts in other industries, and plummeting consumer confidence devastated home construction. With the onset of the recession, construction financing disappeared. Little office or industrial space was built. Surplus production capacity and concerns over proposed cap and trade regulations curtailed construction along the ship channel. Finally, federal, state, county and city budget woes reduced the number of contracts being let for infrastructure projects. This sector has recovered 5,500 jobs, less than one-seventh of the jobs lost, and will be among the last to fully recover. The consolidation of the banking industry, the collapse of the mortgage market, and the reluctance to make loans contributed to the finance of 5,200 jobs. This sector has yet to recover any of the jobs lost in the recession. Government often lags the rest of the economy going into a recession and is among the last to come out. That s the case again this time. The public sector started reporting jobs losses only recently. The length of the government sector t be known for some time. Long-Awaited Recovery in Real Estate , retail and residential markets show signs of recovery. Houston absorbed 434,473 square feet of office space in the second quarter, reports Jones Lang LaSalle. Strong activity in several submarkets notably the Central Business District (CBD), Katy Freeway/Energy Corridor, West Loop/Galleria and The Woodlands made it the third consecutive quarter of positive absorption for the region. The vacancy rate for industrial space dropped from 6.5 percent in the first quarter to 6.0 percent in the second quarter, reports CB Richard Ellis. With 1.3 million square feet absorbed in the second quarter and only 1.8 million square feet under construction, supply and demand remain in balance. All submarkets reported August 2011 ©2011, Greater Houston Partnership Page 6

AT A GLANCE positive absorption in the second quarter, with the exception of the CBD, which reported minimal (-5,157 square feet) negative absorption. The retail sector has reported four consecutive quarters of positive absorption, according to CB Richard Ellis. The market recorded the third quarter of , the sector has absorbed 1.2 million square feet of space. The Houston Association of REALTORS® influenced by the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit; eligible homebuyers had until September 30 to qualify for the incentive. There was no such incentive in place this June. The fact that sales fell only 14 units shy of last June, when sales were propped up by the tax credit, suggests the market may be stabilizing. International Trade Growth The Houston-Galveston Customs District handled trade valued at $106.0 billion through May this year, up 26.3 percent from $83.9 billion during the same period last year. Tonnage through the Houston region ports grew 2.5 percent to 120.8 million short tons through , compared to 117.8 million short tons during the same period last year.

Year-to-date i leading imports so far this year are mineral fuel and oil ($38.3 billion), industrial machinery ($3.7 billion), iron and steel ($2.9 billion), electric machinery ($2.5 billion), and organic chemicals ($1.9 billion). ing partners (combined imports and exports) through the first in ($8.0 billion), Brazil ($6.2 billion), Nigeria ($5.0 billion), Russia ($4.5 billion) and China ($4.3 billion). Based on current trends, trade with Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia and China should surpass levels, while trade with Nigeria may slip below last total. Air Traffic Growth The Houston Airport System (HAS) handled 4,588,785 passengers in June, a 1.1 percent increase from the 4,538,752 handled in June last year. For the first half of this year, 24,437,799 passengers traveled through As it has for many years, growth in domestic travel continues to lag behind international travel. While international travel rose by 4.2 percent through June, domestic travel increased only 0.6 percent. Freight traffic remains strong within HAS, moving 77.0 million pounds in June volume grew in both domestic and international markets for IAH, while cargo volume decreased for Hobby. Fuel expenses continue to exert pressure on airfares. U.S. Gulf Coast kerosene jet .00 in August 2011 ©2011, Greater Houston Partnership Page 8

AT A GLANCE I make dozens of presentations on the economy each the year. During a recent Q&A session I was asked provided an off-the cuff answer, but the question led me to ponder for Houston, and will we recognize it when we see it gathering data, crunching numbers, and developing fresh insights into the question of normal and the definition of recovery. I am packaging my research into a presentation titled, Getting back to Normal: The Last Leg on the Road to which I will present Tuesday, August 23, in the offices of the GHP. You are invited to attend. My presentation starts at 8 a.m. in the GHP Board Room. There is a $20 fee to attend, which covers the cost of the light breakfast fare that will be served.
