Industry News and Updates

I cannot believe we are already at the start of Q4! September was a complete blur with Hurricane Harvey, Irma & Maria (which I hope everyone made it through without incident), and now we are closing the quarter, preparing budgets, and looking ahead at 2018.

With respect to our business, we have continued to see steady growth in both our permanent placement and temporary staffing divisions. Unemployment in Houston is continuing on a downward trend. Hiring demand is slowly increasing.  Now, this will not guarantee finding a new position quickly as there are still a myriad of factors that contribute to getting hired; however, it’s always nice when the external conditions are moving in your favor.  In addition to this, September, October, and November tend to be some of the best hiring months of the year.

The last quarter is an excellent time of year to take internal inventory if you are currently employed. Think about what you accomplished/achieved this year and be sure to add it to your resume. It is a lot harder to reflect on everything you have accomplished over the years if you don’t take a moment to jot it down.

As always feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I will do my best to get back with you as soon as possible. Oh, and GO ASTROS!!!!!

Local Statistics:

• National Unemployment Rate: 4.5 (last year 5.0)
• Houston Unemployment Rate:  5.2 (last year 5.7) – Harvey is not reflected yet!
• Labor Participation Rate: 63.1% (last year 62.9%) – January 2007 66.4% 
• Manufacturing Index: 46.5 (last year 46.1) This has Harvey factored in! It should go back to above 50.
• Oil Rig Count: 940 (last year 509)  
• Price of Oil:  $50.79  (last year $48.76)
• Industries hiring:  Non Profit is HOT, Manufacturing. O&G Field Service, Real Estate, Public Accounting, Midstream 
• Positions in demand: Tax, Senior Accountants, Accounting Managers, Internal & IT Audit
