Detroit’s economy added 46,900 net new jobs over the last year, representing a 2.5 percent increase. With steady employment gains across the metro, look for further improvement in Detroit’s office and industrial property sectors.
JLL Detroit Chart of the Week: December 07, 2015Aaron Moore
According to the most recent estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm employment in Detroit stood at ~2.0 million payrolls, representing an annualized increase of 38,700 jobs or 2.0 percent
Minneapolis–St. Employment Update | November 2015Carolyn Bates
The local labor force has declined slightly since July’s peak, but year-over-year numbers show an increase of over 35,000 non-farm jobs since September 2014.
As is typically the case, MSP’s office-using sectors dominated the hiring by taking 45.9 percent of the 12-month total employment growth while the industrial sectors accounted for 2.3 percent of the annual growth.
The document summarizes the February 2014 jobs report. It states that 175,000 new jobs were added in February, less than the average in 2013 but more than December and January. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 6.7% as more people entered the labor force. Gains were led by professional and business services adding 79,000 jobs. The report provides an overview of job growth over previous months and shows that while growth is positive, conditions remain cool with expectations of warming in coming months.
The size of the local labor force declined by 32,000 workers in August. That contraction caused the unemployment rate to decline 40 basis points to 5.7 percent.
U.S. employers added 113,000 jobs in January 2014, below expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 6.6% while average hourly earnings rose 1.9% year-over-year. Although the unemployment picture improved, recent months have seen lackluster job creation renewing concerns about the strength of the labor market and economy going forward. Over 10 million Americans remain unemployed, with many long-term unemployed facing challenges finding new opportunities.
Employment increased by 23,000 jobs so the expanding labor force only increased the overall unemployment rate by 30 basis points to 6.3 percent. This is the second consecutive month when unemployment increased.
April's employment report showed robust job growth in the U.S. economy, with employers adding 288,000 new jobs during the month. The unemployment rate fell to 6.3%, its lowest point since 2008. Job gains occurred across many industries such as construction, manufacturing, professional services, retail, and education/healthcare. The strong report suggests the U.S. economy may be gaining momentum after slowing during the winter.
The local labor force remained flat in July as the influx of college graduates leveled off. That, coupled with a growth in employment caused the unemployment rate to decline 20 basis points to 6.1 percent.

The U.S. economy added 203,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 7.0%, a five-year low. Job gains were seen across various sectors such as transportation, retail, manufacturing, and professional services. The decline in unemployment came as the labor force participation rate rebounded slightly. While recent economic data has been positive, it remains unclear if growth will continue into 2014.
Minneapolis–St. Paul Employment Update | January 2016Carolyn Bates
The local unemployment rate of 2.7% has once again hit its lowest point since 2001. Coupled with a monthly labor force growth of 10.3 thousand jobs, Minneapolis-St. Paul currently has one of the strongest economies of any major metro in the United States.
As is typically the case, MSP’s office-using sectors dominated hiring by taking 34.9 percent of the 12-month total employment growth, while the industrial sectors experienced a gain of 8.1 percent.
At the national level, 2015 ended on a very high note, with December gaining 292,000 net new jobs and revisions in October and November resulting in a three-month increase of 851,000 jobs.
The national rise in hourly earnings by 2.5 percent is significantly more meaningful, which will likely lead to accelerated GDP growth from the end of 2015 and into 2016 as consumer spending elsewhere pushes up the largest component of output: personal consumption expenditures.
The labor statistics for Detroit are trending in a healthy direction, with total non-farm employment increasing by 38,200 jobs or 2% annually to reach 1.9 million payrolls. The unemployment rate decreased 3.4 percentage points year-over-year to 6%. During the previous recession from 2007 to 2009, Detroit lost jobs and saw unemployment rise, but has since regained jobs lost and seen unemployment decrease substantially.
Daily Economic Update for August 2, 2010NAR Research
The manufacturing sector continues to grow with improvements in inventories, exports, supplier deliveries and employment. The ISM Manufacturing Index remained above 50, signaling expansion, though it declined slightly from the prior month. Construction spending posted a small increase in June led by growth in public and commercial building, but overall construction spending remains 8% below last year's level.
1) The document summarizes US employment figures for March 2014, which showed solid job growth of 192,000 new jobs added and the unemployment rate remaining unchanged at 6.7%.
2) Gains were broad-based across multiple sectors such as professional services, retail, food services, and construction. Private sector employment surpassed pre-recession levels.
3) The steady job growth in March suggests the US labor market was less negatively impacted by winter weather than expected and continues moving slowly in the right direction of recovery.
The document summarizes the June 2015 employment situation in Chicago and the United States. In Chicago, employment increased by 15,000 jobs as the labor force expanded by 20,000 workers. The unemployment rate increased slightly to 6.0%. Several sectors drove employment growth including construction, trade/transportation/utilities, professional services, and leisure/hospitality. Nationally, 223,000 jobs were added in June while the unemployment rate fell to 5.3%, its lowest since 2008.
The document summarizes key housing market and job growth statistics for Jacksonville. For housing, median home prices increased 2.6-2.7% year-over-year while new listings and pending sales also rose. Job growth saw a net addition of 20,200 jobs over 12 months, led by gains in leisure/hospitality and business services. Government employment declined slightly. The document also provides information on financing sources and terms for different property types.
According to the most recent estimates from the BLS, total nonfarm employment in Cincinnati stood at ~1.07 million payrolls, representing an annualized increase of 28,400 jobs or 2.7 percent.
The document summarizes the May 2015 employment situation in Chicago and the United States. It states that the unemployment rate declined in Chicago to 5.9% due to hiring outpacing individuals leaving the workforce. Key sectors driving expansion in Chicago include construction, trade/transportation/utilities, professional services, and leisure/hospitality. Total US nonfarm employment increased by 280,000 jobs in May, while the national unemployment rate rose slightly to 5.5% and wages increased 2.3% annually.
China's export-led growth model has been driven by several long-term factors including large industrial capacities, human capital gains from joining the WTO, and demographic dividends from a large rural workforce. This has led to high growth in labor productivity in manufacturing, capital deepening, and rising profit rates as the share of labor income has declined. While China's currency is undervalued, export growth continued even after a 20% revaluation, suggesting China's export success is rooted in its role in international manufacturing supply chains rather than just currency effects. For a balanced transition, China should focus on better utilizing its high domestic savings rather than solely relying on exports.
According to the most recent estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm employment in Detroit stood at ~2.0 million payrolls, representing an annualized increase of 45,200 jobs or 2.4 percent. Meanwhile, unemployment decreased 2.7 percentage points year-over-year to 6.2 percent.
Jobs growth in Detroit slowed in 2014 but remained positive, with the economy adding 41,600 jobs for a growth rate of 2.2% and unemployment falling to 6.3%. While office sector job growth softened, these sectors still experienced incremental expansion and added 12,500 jobs total, led by 12,100 new jobs in professional and business services.
Minneapolis–St. Paul Employment Update | July 2016Carolyn Bates
This year has been filled with milestones for the Minneapolis-St. Paul economy, and once again the metro has achieved its largest ever employment count and labor force: 1.91 million and 1.97 million, respectively.
Additionally, this month marked Minneapolis-St. Paul’s peak employment in professional and business services, a fundamental component to the metro’s economic growth. Over 4 thousand jobs have been added month-over-month, an impressive gain after an addition of 8,500 jobs last month.
At the national level, June saw 287,000 net new jobs added to the U.S. labor market, a return to healthy growth after a weak May that saw gains revised downward to just 11,000 jobs. This is the highest monthly figure in eight months and will be reassuring to decision makers such as the Federal Reserve.
High-performing markets across the U.S. have seen and expect further slowdowns in the rate of job growth as employers run up against talent shortages–a challenge that is especially pertinent to Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The U.S. labor market rebounded in April with the addition of 211,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate falling to 4.4%. Key sectors like leisure/hospitality, professional/business services, and healthcare saw employment gains. The labor force participation rate ticked down slightly while average hourly earnings rose by 0.3% and GDP growth slowed to 0.7% in the first quarter. Overall, the report indicates continued steady growth in the U.S. economy and labor market.
According to the most recent estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, total nonfarm employment in Detroit stood at ~2.0 million payrolls, representing an annualized increase of 49,400 jobs or 2.6 percent.
U.S. employers added 148,000 workers in September, while the unemployment rate fell to 7.2%. Average hourly earnings rose 2.1% over the previous year. The job growth was lower than expected and the report signals mixed economic data, as unemployment declined slowly but employer confidence in hiring remains lacking.
The U.S. economy added 271,000 jobs in October according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report. This was 40,000 more jobs than the average of the past year. The unemployment rate dropped slightly to 5.0%. Revisions to prior months showed 12,000 more jobs were added than previously reported. Professional and business services saw the largest employment increase in October while mining and logging saw the largest decrease. Most states reported increases in employment from the previous month with Texas, New York and Georgia seeing the largest gains.
U.S. employment update and outlook: October 2014JLL
Unemployment dips to 5.9 percent in September—its first time below 6.0 percent during the recovery.
The U.S. economy got back on track in September, bouncing back from a sluggish August with 248,000 net new jobs. Growth occurred across sectors and geographies, with office-using industries in particular benefiting from improved corporate confidence leading to permanent hiring.
Total unemployment, which includes discouraged and marginally detached workers, also declined slightly to 11.8 percent, bringing it below the 10-year average.
With numerous other employment metrics all pointing up—including job openings, voluntary quits and CEO confidence—sentiment will only become more optimistic over the coming months.

November 2015 U.S. employment update and outlookJLL
October saw the labor market return to form after a two-month slowdown, adding 271,000 net new jobs across industries, in turn bringing down unemployment to 5 percent, the lowest rate seen during the recovery so far.
Notable over the past few months has been a rise in wages in an otherwise low-inflation environment, which will boost the personal expenditures component of GDP in the coming quarters.
U.S. employment update and outlook: January 2015 JLL
The U.S. labor market added 252,000 net new jobs in December, bringing total job gains in 2014 to 3.0 million. The unemployment rate declined to 5.6% as consistent job growth outpaced labor force growth. Several industries like construction, education, health and leisure saw strong job additions that offset slower growth in the office-using sector. Overall the report indicates the labor market recovery continued in December with widespread job gains across most states and metropolitan areas.

- Total employment in Boston reached its highest level in recent decades and unemployment fell to its pre-recession level in early 2015.
- The three industries with the largest employment growth since the recession were health care, professional services, and education.
- Boston's unemployment rate was lower than both the Massachusetts and US rates in 2014, reaching 5.3% for the year.

Minneapolis–St. Employment Update | December 2015Carolyn Bates
The local unemployment rate of 2.9% has hit its lowest point since 2001. Coupled with year-over-year labor force growth of 34.2 thousand jobs, Minneapolis-St. Paul currently has one of the strongest economies of any major metro in the United States.
As is typically the case, MSP’s office-using sectors dominated hiring by taking 48.0 percent of the 12-month total employment growth, while the industrial sectors experienced a loss of 1.8 percent.
At the national level, monthly growth of 211,000 jobs over the course of November represented the second consecutive month of rebound after a slowdown in mid-2015. At the current rate of growth, a mid-to-late-2016 timeframe seems likely for the first stage of tightening.
The 4th quarter GDP was 1.9% according to new estimates. The US economy added only 18,000 jobs in June, much lower than the projected 125,000 jobs and down from previous months. Many sectors such as government, financial activities, and construction saw job losses. Economists are questioning if the slow growth in the first half of the year indicates a deeper slowdown in the US economy than previously expected.
We are officially at the mid-point of the year, and the labor market is still holding up strong. In June 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics added 213,000 jobs, beating economists projections of 195,000 jobs. The Bureau also reported revised job gains for April and May of this year. April's gains increased from 159,000 added jobs to 175,000 jobs and May's jobs improved from 223,000 jobs added to 244,000. This is a net increase of 37,000 jobs for April and May combined. Over the past three months, job gains avered a whopping 211,000 jobs.
Economic Indicators for Week of August 2-August 6, 2010NAR Research
1. The document provides a weekly economic forecast and updates from the National Association of Realtors covering the period from August 2-6, 2010.
2. It reports that manufacturing and construction spending increased slightly in June while pending home sales edged down, and mortgage purchase applications rose for the third consecutive week.
3. Non-farm payrolls declined by 131,000 in July due to cuts in temporary census jobs, but the private sector added 71,000 jobs, with gains in durable manufacturing and transportation.
The national labor market continues to add jobs and maintain the momentum gained over the past few quarters, with 295,000 jobs added in February alone. Year-to-date, the economy has already seen 534,000 new jobs and is poised to sustain this level of growth over the next 12 to 18 months as other macroeconomic indicators—from consumer spending to bond issuance to business investment—continue their upward trajectory.
Unemployment dropped by 20 basis points to 5.5 percent, also enabling the 30-basis-point drop in total unemployment—which includes those not actively seeking work—to 11.0 percent, down from 11.3.
May’s 223,000 net new jobs represented the 91st consecutive month of growth, further extending an already unprecedented expansionary cycle. Since early 2017, the change in employment compared to the previous cycle has been higher than growth in the civilian labor force, leading to rapid declines in unemployment, which now stands at just 3.8%. With the economy showing no meaningful signs of slowdown and inflation rising under the pressure of sustained output growth, the Federal Reserve is on track to continue its program of tightening over the coming quarters.
The U.S. labor market added 280,000 jobs in May, bringing year-to-date gains to 1.1 million jobs. Unemployment rose slightly to 5.5% due to an increase in labor force participation. Education and health led employment growth while mining contracted. Silicon Valley saw the highest annual job growth rate of 6% among major markets as tech hiring remained strong.
The quarterly report summarizes employment data for Boyle County, Kentucky for Q3 2010. Industrial employment increased by 121 jobs from the previous quarter to a total of 3,329 jobs.
