Major Trends Impacting Colorado’s Future Today and Tomorrow

Colorado Economy Today

• • • • • Colorado’s recession ended in 2009.

2012 and 2013, job growth beat projections by every economist. 2014 continues the trend.

Colorado’s highly diversified economy (4 th the U.S.) cushioned the recession’s blow – especially in housing values.

best in Growth is progressing at all levels across the State’s economic base, but growth in geographic areas is not equal.

Lay-offs are half of lay-offs in 2008

The Depth of the Great Recession

• 2001 – 2010 “establishments” created “net zero” jobs. But job growth increased by 130,000 jobs. More about this later.

• • Number Employed Metro (2005): 1.440 million Total Number Employed (2013): 1.463 million • This was truly The Great Recession

Growth Up, Up, Up…

• • • State jobs up 2.6% Metro up 2.7%. Led by construction and natural resources. Expect 3% growth rate by year end. Haven’t seen numbers like this since the late 1990s.

Exports up 6%. Could reach record of $8.6 billion by year end.

Leeds Business Confidence Index is 60.5 up from 58.1

International Trends

• • • •

Uncertainty in Every Corner

Putin holding Western Europe hostage with natural gas.

Crimea, Syria, Libya and Iraq all caught up in civil war. Libya and Iraq had been significant oil suppliers to U.S. in recent years.

China and Japan conflict over northern Japanese Islands. International refugee crisis

International Trends

• • • Colorado now a global competitor – direct flights to Europe, Asia and Panama (December, 2014) now connect Colorado to 65% of Gross World Product in the “Global Triangle”. Huge global consumer market will seem to “explode” in tourism and trade, as China alone adds 300 million to the middle class in next 10 years.

Japan will begin to off-shore its manufacturing over the next five years as it emerging from twelve year recession. U.S. and Brazil will benefit.

The Prospect of American Energy Independence

• • • Colorado ranks 5 th in U.S. for natural gas production and 10 th in oil production U.S. is preparing to launch a major infrastructure initiative that would permit the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). “Re-shoring” of manufacturing will result as low cost gas will increase our competitiveness

• • •

U.S. will be world’s largest oil producer by 2020

Reliable oil prices – over 80% of U.S. oil demand will come from domestic sources or trusted allies – Canada and Mexico.

Balance of payments will improve, strengthening dollar, increasing domestic investments.

Western Europe and Asia (Japan and China) will increase direct investments in U.S. as Russia’s grip on oil and gas costs throughout Europe will discourage expansions due to higher production costs.

Partnership between Natural Gas and Renewable Energies

• • Natural gas produces 40% less carbon dioxide than other fossil sources.

“Ramp up” time for natural gas electrical generation is generally faster than older coal plants. This “quick on” advantage allows gas to supplement drops in wind speeds for turbines or weather changes for solar fields.

Changing Workspaces

 Millennials are most educated generation in history. Most bachelor’s degrees conferred in business, the social sciences and history, health sciences, and education.

 One-half to two-thirds of Millennials are interested in entrepreneurship, and 27% already self-employed.

 29% of entrepreneurs were 20 to 34 years old in 2011.

 Three out of four Millennials say that work-life balance drives their career choices. This balance will place greater emphasis on transportation and access to the mountains.

Milliennials and Housing

Student loan debt more than tripled in past decade, to more than $1.1 trillion. While Fannie- and Freddie-backed borrowers have an average score of 740, most Millennials have credit scores below 700.

(Source: FICO)

In 2012, 36% of the nation’s Millennials were living in their parents’ home. This is the highest share in at least four decades.

(Source: Pew Research Center)

Younger buyers tend to buy older homes, and are more likely to buy previously owned homes. Most often they do so because the home is a better price and better overall value.

“ Always end a speech on a high note.”

Is legalized marijuana hurting our economic future?

2015

Growth will continue, but at slower rate as U.S. returns to more “normal” five-year business cycle. Expect 2.0% growth rate.

High housing prices will slow job growth, as Phoenix, Las Vegas and Dallas costs will compete strongly against Colorado. “Most expensive housing market without a coast.” If you own a house, your net worth will continue to grow, but not at the 15% rate of 2012-13.

Enjoy another great year!
