A Changing Texas Labor Market
1. If it’s not a recession, it’s still not fun. Downturn affects output, employment, tax revenues
2. Economists still very divided on duration, turning point signals, and level of job growth in recovery
3. Continued transition to services, not products for value-added and employment opportunities.
4. Productivity through technology implementation will transform many job sites and skill sets. Technology is changing products, creating jobs e.g. Burlington/Nano-Tex, Texas-in-a-Box
A Changing Texas Labor Market (continued)
5. More jobs in small firms, greater use of leased and independent contract labor means fewer and shorter career ladders
6. Higher overall workforce education levels encourage fewer internal career ladders, fewer growth options for unskilled when they get a job e.g. hire outside folks who don’t need training
7. Organizational structure moving from pyramid to flatter pyramid to hour glass, so fewer ports of entry for low skill workers
A Changing Texas Labor Market (continued)
8. Globalization is changing economic theory, business practices and labor supply options
9. Earnings inequality is increasing based on education and the “Digital Divide”
10. Changing demography affects everything from education needs, working with diversity, consumer tastes, tax structure, retirement
11. All education and workforce development is part of economic development. Industry Clusters emphasize the regional collaboration.
