Quarterly Newsletter from Diane @ CFS!

Posted on February 16, 2024 by Dianedelgadolemaire

Industry News:
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through the first quarter of 2024. Let’s delve into the latest economic developments and examine the current conditions of both the U.S. and Houston economies, and how they might impact your career.

In the U.S., we’ve seen strong GDP growth, a thriving job market, historically low unemployment rates, and a decrease in inflation. Meanwhile, in the Houston area, economic expansion continues, albeit at a slower rate compared to 2021 and 2022. Nevertheless, the unemployment rate remains at historic lows.

Despite these positive indicators, in my view, the job market isn’t performing as well as the media suggests. While there are numerous job opportunities available, there’s also a scarcity of skilled workers. Additionally, many workers are reluctant to switch jobs due to market uncertainty, shifts from remote to hybrid or fully in-office roles, and stagnant salaries. The local job market isn’t booming, but it remains stable.
