  2. Economic forecasting is a field that gives Astrology a good name!

  3. Does this Sound Like an Economist?

  4. A Changing Texas Labor Market 1. If it’s not a recession, it’s still not fun! Downturn affects output, employment, tax revenues, employment in all sectors 2. Economists still very divided on duration, turning point signals, and level of job growth in recovery

  5. What do labor economists agree on? • There will be no shortage of opportunities in the knowledge sector for those with the education and intelligence to perform in it • All jobs, even the most low-skilled, will require higher levels of basic education, math, communication and technology skills…for survival and growth 3. Those without some specialized knowledge or skill are likely to suffer declining real wages

  6. What do labor economists agree on? (II) 4. The Digital Divide exists and those on the wrong side will have limited hiring and advancement opportunities 5. Jobs requiring “human touch” will continue to be in demand e.g. health services and nursing, construction…no robot plumbers! 6. Workplace settings and business practices and knowledges will change rapidly, making lifelong learning essential e.g. life after “paving the cow path”

  7. A Changing Texas Labor Market (2) 3. Continued transition to services, not products for value-added and employment opportunities Increase in “high tech” and “high touch” jobs What comes after the Knowledge economy? The Creativity Economy? The Celebrity Economy?
