Q. Where is HOU Eco and R.E. in the Market Cycle for 2015?
A. Hint … #1 MSA ranking in job growth is indicative of Expansion or Oversupply?
Visualizing the Reference Points: Where are we starting from?
Congratulations 2014! • Fewest Job cuts since 1997 • Most Job creation since 1999 (+2.952 million – BLS Jan 9th) • Maybe 1st year with 3 consecutive quarters of 3.5%+ GDP since 2004 (Q2: 4.6% /
Q3: 5.0% / Q4:?) • TX & Houston #1 in Job Growth in 2014: 450,000 / 125,000 jobs
Page # 8
• Historic High 1950 was +17% in 1950)
• Long-Term annual avg. is +3.25%
• 2014 Trend:
Q1: -2.1% / Q2: +4.6% / Q3: +5%
• Note: In order for 2014 to turn in a +3% overall GDP, Q4 GDP will need to be +4.5%. Won’t know until March. Get 1st GUESS on Friday (3.5% consensus)
• KC’s Forecast: +3% (Q1 weak again)
• Energy CapEx decline coming all 2014 Learn the term “Redetermination”
• West-coast ports impact on Exports to show up in Q4 GDP (Q4 ≠ 4% to 5%)

Let’s Look out the Windshield toward 2015 …
• Energy Impact: 30%+ of 2014 Capex was ENERGY How do you think about all “shale” states? Like CO, PA and Ohio • West-coast Ports impact on GDP How do you think about SoCAL and Pacific NW Vs Gulf? • Job Growth choppy: Shed holiday hires in Jan and then
annual Feb “Benchmark” revisions. Focus on ADP, Challenger Job Cuts & Revisions • The sequel to Frozenomics 2014 is Frozenomics 2015 What was Q1 ‘14 GDP with Frozenomics? (-2.1%) • Fundamentals are still good! GDP should remain +2.5% to 3% range (Autos, Housing) Jobs – expect monthly avg of 225k

Houston Annual Job Growth in Perspective:

Source: Moody’s Vs BLS
Moody’s Vs BLS use different MSA boundary definitions; and BLS revisions cause distortions. For Nov 2013-Nov 2014, BLS has Houston producing 125k jobs. That preliminary estimate will get heavily revised with “Benchmark” revisions in Q1 2015.

Texas, Florida, North Carolina lead IT job growth in first half of 2014, study finds http://www.pcworld.com/article/2464280/texas-florida-north-carolina-lead-it-job-growth-in-first-half-of-2014-study-finds.html
PC World – Aug 14, 2014 By: Fred O'Connor , IDG News Service
U.S. technology professionals searching for jobs may want to look in states not normally considered IT hot spots.
The three states with the highest percentage of IT job growth for the first half of 2014 were Texas at 5.99
percent, Florida at 5.64 percent and North Carolina at 3.8 percent, according to a report from IT job site Dice.
State governments realize the value of IT jobs, said Goli, and are attempting to bolster technology employment.
“They are creating incentives and programs to not only attract companies but also create a pipeline of technology
professionals,” he said. For instance, some state universities in Florida have developed technology camps to
train teachers how to teach the subject to students.“Florida [is] investing early by getting sort of coding
camps and other types of training programs into middle school and high school,” said Goli. “They are
thinking ahead.”
Florida added 4,100 IT jobs in the first half of the year, nearly matching the 4,500 IT positions it created in
2013.

Stratification of Cuts: By State: • California & New York still #1 & 2 • Texas & Colorado energy cuts showing up By Industry: • Computer, Retail, Health Care (Tops in cuts:
#1,2,3) • Construction, Real Estate and Legal (Fewest
cuts <1k in 2014) Labor Cost risk to R.E. constr. in 2015

1. Millennials not buyers yet Reverse mortgages trigger Euthanasia 2. 225k.mo jobs = 1.0mm demand
• MF: 350k +/- 25k Why? • Land hard to get and entitle • Urban infill slower & harder to Dev.
• Metrics to Monitor re Housing • HPA: Forget C-Shiller look at Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) (% of Homes affordable to Median $) AZ MSAs rank well (68%-76%) SF, LA NY, DC, MIA worst (10% <45%)
• Ratio of Jobs to MF permits (8:1 test) • Watch Unit Mix (90%+ vacancy in 1 Bdrm) • Early run-off (<35% leased selling at Full $)

Wells Fargo Economics – Jan 20, 2014:
The oil and gas industry has sizable spillover effects in Texas and elsewhere. Some of these are patently obvious, such as refineries and petrochemical plants. Some are more subtle, however, including technology firms and financial services firms that raise capital to fund the industry. As the epicenter of the world’s energy industry, Houston is home to the headquarters or major operations to all of these industries, which has been one of the driving forces behind the building boom there. Engineering services are a big export industry for Houston, as projects around the world are often planned, designed and financed from there. As the industry downsizes and consolidates, even some of the pre-leased office space currently being built may be tougher to fill, causing vacancy rates to march back up. Questions: 1. Where are the features on Colo, OH and PA? 2. Where are the features on Financial Industry
Impact? Who are #1, 2, 3 banks in Energy?

View from Top 10 US bank who also ranks among top-3 in Energy exposure – Jan 20 (Does the Bi-polar view worry you?)
Wells Fargo Economics – Jan 20, 2014:
We believe Texas has enough momentum in place to weather the recent slide in energy prices. We do not know how much further prices will fall, but expect them to significantly overshoot to the downside over the next few weeks. Real GDP and nonfarm employment growth will likely slow to about half of last year’s pace. Texas will clearly see slower economic growth this year. After averaging roughly 6 percent growth during the past three years, we are looking for Texas real GDP growth to slow to 4.2 percent in 2015 and 2.8 percent in 2016. Nonfarm employment should also remain solidly in positive territory over the next couple of years but will slow to a pace below the nation by the second half of this year Questions: 1. Where the features on Colo, OH and PA? 2. Where the features on Financial Industry

Ask yourself the following questions: 1. How are TX Public Homebuilders
doing? Anyone look at Q4 earnings? 2. How is the Houston Port doing? It
handles more than oil! 3. How is Houston medical Center
performing? Hiring less healthcare professionals?
4. How many CA companies are changing plans to move or expand to TX? Toyota reversing move to TX?
Time to get Economic Development folks to create a new Marketing Plan for TX – “Yeah TX has the world’s top energy industry, but TX also has North America’s top homebuilders, port, & healthcare industries. TX is still open!

3D Printing is not Science-Fiction. It has evolved from trinkets to cosmetics – and more…
For those of you that have heard me speak in 1H2014, you know my thoughts and prognostications on 3-D printing. It is not a fad and it will revolutionize how we manufacture, warehouse and shop in ways that we could never have imagined. When we start to absorb all the ways 3-D printing technology is being applied today by real-world businesses, we start to realize this technology is very real and applicable to every industry sector and far beyond plastic trinkets sold in a Dollar-Discount store. Feetz – a company in southern California – is making custom orthotics using 3-D printing technology. Another California company is manufacturing AK-47 automatic weapons using graphite. Leading medical research university after university is developing the technology further to synthetically manufacture medicines and pharmacy items and human tissue ranging from skin grafts to even organs. But this may be the “disbeliever’s” breakthrough – MINK. MINK is the genius of a Harvard Business School graduate that has figure out how to 3-D print any shade of lipstick a woman could desire from home at a cost of $300. Imagine a 3-D Lipstick printer as a bathroom accessory for about the cost of the 3-D color printer in your office. It is reality by the end of this year! 3-D printing is going to turn upside down how we manufacture, warehouse and retail. It is another accelerant to the e-commerce revolution already underway in retail. How does a drug-store look without a cosmetics section because it all can be 3-D printed from home?

• Consultants continue to struggle to keep up with demand. The duration of design and construction documentation on projects has not improved.
• Work under contract/construction by General Contractors continues to drive a demand for skilled personnel. However a number of new projects HAVE been put on hold we see real concern on backlog.
• The Subcontractor community has little or no excess capacity to accommodate present workloads causing construction schedules to lengthen.
• Labor and material costs continue to escalate but there are some signs of leveling off of price increases.
• Long lead delivery times for critical path material and equipment continues to drive completion dates.
