Industry News: 

This will be the last newsletter of 2019. I am happy to report that November and December have been quit busy. There are a lot of companies looking for employees to start in January & February 2020. Some of the roles are replacements, but a lot of them are newly created roles!

Here is a short recap of the latest Economy at a Glance (https://www.houston.org/houston-data/economy-glance) and the Institute for Regional Forecasting Symposium I recently attended:

• GHP predicts 42,300 new jobs will be created in Houston in 2020. Most will be outside of Energy.
• The national unemployment rate is at 3.6 percent and the job market is the tightest it has been in 50 years.
• Consumer spending is up! Hourly wages are also up! That activity accounts for two-thirds of our economy. Good news.
• The manufacturing index (PMI) dipped below 50. That is not good. Services PMI was above 50 and that contributes 6 times as much to GDP as the PMI
• The global economy (80 trillion) is projected to grow by 3.0 percent next year.
• Oil is predicted to stay between 55 to 60 dollars per barrel

As always, I would like to remind you to add one or two line items to your resume. Keep in mind that you do not have to be active in the market to update your resume annually! As you look to 2020 and set new goals also take some time to reflect on your career accomplishments and new skills you have learned.

Stay tuned for my next newsletter in March and as always check www.dianedelgadolemaire.com for updates on new job openings!
