Haves and Have-Nots: The national
economy has experienced job growth of
6.6% since the recession ended. The top 10
markets have seen job levels grow on
average 14.0% since they troughed, while
the bottom 10 markets in terms of job
growth have increased only 2.4% on
average.
Job Leaders: Austin is the top market that
we track in terms of job growth (regaining
its hold on the top spot from Nashville),
increasing 17.2% (almost 4.0% growth per
year since 2010!), while San Jose, San
Francisco, Nashville, and Houston are also
seeing robust job growth with over 14%
gains each. Other fast improving metros
include Raleigh, Charleston, Orlando,
Dallas, Charlotte, and Denver.
Job Laggards: Conversely, markets such as
Albuquerque, Syracuse, Virginia Beach,
Buffalo, St. Louis, and Philadelphia have
struggled to add jobs with job growth
under 3.0% since their employment levels
bottomed.
The Informed Investor
Job growth is paramount for commercial real
estate fundamentals to recover. An informed
investor in commercial real estate that makes the
effort to dig past the headline numbers and analyze
employment trends on a micro-level basis will have
an advantage during these quickly changing times
in commercial real estate.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs – Summer 2014 Update
The single most important factor for a recovery in the underlying commercial real estate fundamentals
is positive job growth. Job growth fuels retail spending and business travel, as well as creates demand
for office space, apartment units, and warehouse space. The good news is that economic conditions
have improved after slowing last summer with the unemployment rate falling from 7.5% in May 2013 to
6.3% in May 2014. The not-so-good-news is that even with relatively stronger job growth the last twelve
months; the economic recovery has been modest at best when compared to historical recoveries.
Continued uncertainty abroad (Ukraine, Syria, Iran, slower growth in China, etc), along with a domestic
economy that is still feeling the lingering effects of the recession and the recent slowdown in home price
appreciation and buying), continues to add doubt to the recovery. Even with some uncertainty regarding
the near term economic forecast, we believe the U.S. economic recovery is strong enough to continue to
expand at a moderate pace and have begun to see signs that growth may begin to gain more traction
later this year. We expect job growth will likely average around +225,000 for the remainder of 2014;
although the pace will remain shy of historical recoveries and job growth will not be uniform by metro.
While the national economic picture is important, real estate is a local business and investors in
commercial real estate must take into account local conditions in their investment decisions. When one
looks closely at the job market on a micro-level, it is plainly evident that the speeds at which local
economies are emerging from the recession vary widely across the nation. In this report, we identify
which metros have gained the most jobs since the recession and others that are still lagging. First, let’s
start with the national data.
National Employment Summary
Overall, the U.S. economy has created 8,808,000 jobs since bottoming in February 2010 after suffering
almost 8.8 million in job losses in 2008-2009. Job levels eclipsed their previous high last month and,
while this is certainly cause for celebration, it should be noted that it has been over four years since job
levels bottomed, highlighting just how slowly the economy has recovered. While the recent drop in the
unemployment rate has been impressive, much of the improvement has been due to a falling labor
participation rate. We believe that the unemployment rate will remain in the 6.0% to 6.5% range
through the end of the year as unemployed people who had stopped looking for new employment
become re-engaged.

Beyond the Headline Numbers
Looking beyond the monthly headline jobs report, it is clear that the paths of private sector employment
and government payrolls diverged beginning in 2010 as solid corporate profits helped push private
employment levels higher, while the public sector struggled from the effects of the recession. Private
sector job growth has been positive since February 2010, adding 9,196,000, jobs. Conversely,
government payrolls have been a drag on overall employment as public sector jobs falling by 1,123,000
jobs since June 2010. Fortunately, it appears that the public sector employment sector has stabilized
and, on the strength of improving state and municipality job gains, has seen three straight months of
positive job growth for the first time since 2008. We believe that this trend will continue with the
private sector continuing to add jobs while public sector job rolls remain relatively flat.

While the tepid public sector forecast continues to weigh on overall job growth, solid gains, particularly
in the office-using employment sector, driven mostly by 2,714,000 gain in professional and business
services but also a turnaround in the construction sector, help build a case that (private) job growth will
continue, and potentially at an increased rate. It should be noted that while government jobs at the
federal level continues to fall, increasing state and local government payrolls have helped overall
government job levels stabilize.
Office-using employment has pushed higher for four straight years, powered mostly by the professional
and business sector, although office-using employment gains continue to be modest on a monthly basis.
Overall office-using employment has gained 2,739,000 jobs since levels bottomed in October 2009 after
losing approximately 2,425,000 jobs during the recession.

In addition, the manufacturing sector, which had experienced a slowdown last summer, has seen growth
pick up moderately in 2014, which has helped overall job growth average over 200,000 jobs added per
month since last August. The manufacturing sector has added 647,000 jobs overall since January 2010.
For the economy to gain real traction (and continue to exceed +200,000 jobs added per month), the
manufacturing sector has to participate.

While weekly initial jobless claims remain higher than they historically would at this stage of a recovery,
there are some positive signs that potentially point towards greater job growth in the near future. Initial
jobless claims, which vacillated between 300,000 and 350,000 for the past six months, have remained
below the 325,000 barrier for the last two months, marking the longest stretch of this cycle. The four
week moving average is 311,500 jobless claims, the lowest it has been since mid-2007. If jobless claims
continue to consistently come in under 325,000 we feel comfortable that the job recovery can break out
of its current slow growth trajectory.

Metro-Level Employment Summary: The Haves and Have-Nots
While all of the 77 markets that we track have seen employment levels bottom and begin to improve;
the velocity of the recovery varies widely by metro and region.
Metro-Level Highlights




Haves and Have-Nots: The national economy has experienced job growth of 6.8% since the
recession ended. The top 10 markets have seen job levels grow on average 14.0% since they
troughed, while the bottom 10 markets in terms of job growth have increased only 2.4% on
average.
Job Leaders: Austin is the top market that we track in terms of job growth (regaining its hold on
the top spot from Nashville), increasing 17.2% (almost 4.0% growth per year since 2010!), while
San Jose, San Francisco, Nashville, and Houston are also seeing robust job growth with over
14% gains each. Other fast improving metros include Raleigh, Charleston, Orlando, Dallas,
Charlotte, and Denver.
Job Laggards: Conversely, markets such as Albuquerque, Syracuse, Virginia Beach, Buffalo, St.
Louis, and Philadelphia have struggled to add jobs with job growth under 3.0% since their
employment levels bottomed.
Florida and California Rising: Some of the hardest hit metros during the housing bust/recession
are now experiencing accelerating job growth. Some of the biggest movers in job growth over
the last year include Orlando, Miami, and Palm Beach in Florida and Sacramento, Inland
Empire, and Oakland in California.
See previous RAIT Expectations, “The Jobs Report” at www.rait.com for all previous charts.
Which Markets have had the Largest Gains in Employment since Troughing?
Overall, all of the 77 markets that we analyze currently have employment levels that are higher than
their lowest point during the recession/post-recession period. Austin, our top market in terms of job
growth, has added almost 130,000 jobs since employment levels bottomed in 2009, almost five times
the amount of job losses incurred during the recession. Fueled by tech sector growth (Apple, Google,
Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), San Jose and San Francisco have experienced stellar job growth since 2011.
Nashville is helped by a diversified economy and in particular, growth in the education/health care
sector has been a star performer since the end of the recession. The rebirth of domestic energy has
spurred employment growth in Houston (+359,800 jobs, by far the most in the nation), Dallas, Fort
Worth, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, and Denver. After getting hit extremely hard by the bursting of
the housing bubble and subsequent recession, Orlando’s economy is hitting on all cylinders and, along
with Dallas, has experienced the most job growth so far in 2014. Finally, broad-based job growth in
Charlotte’s diversified economy continues the metros rapid recovery, while Boeing’s new plant in
Charleston has led to solid employment gains.

Since our September 2013 update, only a few markets fell out of the top 25, while others are making an
appearance. Baltimore, Minneapolis, and Northern Virginia all fell out of the top 25 as job growth
slowed. Conversely, increasing job growth helped Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale all move
their way onto the top 25 list.
A handful of markets have experienced significant job growth so far in 2014, including Dallas, Orlando,
San Diego, Houston, Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, and Portland. All of which have seen job levels
increase at least 1.25% over the first four months of 2014.

Which markets have recaptured jobs lost during the Recession?
While a majority of markets are still a long way from peak employment levels attained before the
recession, 35 markets (led by Austin, San Antonio, Houston, District of Columbia, New York City,
Oklahoma City, Northern Virginia, Fort Worth, New Orleans, and Nashville) have recaptured all of the
jobs lost during the recession and currently have overall employment levels that are at all-time highs.
This is up from a total of 28 markets that recaptured 100% of lost jobs as of June 2013.
Conversely, eleven markets have recaptured less than 50% of jobs lost during the recession (U.S. has
recaptured 98.7%) including Birmingham, St. Louis, Memphis, Tucson, Northern New Jersey,
Greensboro, Wichita, Detroit (although it has created 144,000 new jobs, or 8.4% growth, it is still only
29% of total jobs lost from 2000 to 2009), Virginia Beach, Syracuse, and Albuquerque. Others still with a
deep deficit of jobs are Central New Jersey, Hartford, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee.

Which Markets have Limited Employment Growth?
Highlighting the vast differences between the “Haves” and “Have-Nots” in terms of job creation during
this recovery there are five markets that have seen job levels fall over the past twelve months ending in
April 2014, including Albuquerque, Syracuse, Detoit, Virginia Beach, and Suburban Maryland. The
Syracuse, Albuquerque, and Virginia Beach economies continue to struggle to gain any traction, while a
handful of other markets remain precariously close to their near term lows. Memphis, Central New
Jersey, Northern New Jersey, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Buffalo lead a geographically diverse list of 14
other markets that are struggling to add jobs with overall growth still under 4.0%.
The full list of metros is located in Appendix A of this report.

Summary
The U.S. economy is now three and a half years into the economic “recovery”, and there is a clear line
between which markets are successfully creating new jobs and other markets that continue to struggle
to gain traction. The markets leading the nation from the recession echo the sectors that are the
current economic drivers in the United States, such as energy (Texas, Oklahoma City, and to a lesser
extent, Denver and Salt Lake City) and tech (San Jose and San Francisco), education/health care
(Nashville), as well as diversified business friendly/lifestyle locations (Austin, Orlando and Charlotte).
We are also seeing the return of job growth to much of Florida and California, which highlights job and
demographic trends that have been in place for decades. Growth is occurring in the Sunbelt, particularly
Texas, the Carolinas, Florida, and California, while the much of the Midwest and Northeast struggle to
gain traction. We expect these trends will continue over the near term and that the current job growth
leaders will continue to shine bright during this job growth cycle. Conversely, many of the laggards in

terms of job creation will continue to labor with some struggling to match their pre-recession peak job
levels.
Job growth is paramount for commercial real estate fundamentals to recover. An informed investor in
commercial real estate that makes the effort to dig past the headline numbers and analyze employment
trends on a micro-level basis will have an advantage during these quickly changing times in commercial
real estate.
