Where the Jobs Are: How they’re Changing and Why Skills Matter!
Why Should I Care About Labor Market Data?
Labor market data
General Macroeconomic Conditions: U.S. & Foreign
Growing & Declining Industries & Sectors
Industry Staffing and Occupational Demand
Real time Job Postings by Occupation & Geography
Technology Changes and New Business Practices
Education & Training Labor Supply Data: Grads/Earnings
Is there overall economic, job and income growth?
Growing industries most likely to hire, or pay more
Growth industries need skills related to their business
What’s HOT now? Where is the job demand? Wages?
Technology affects hiring requirements & skills needs
Which education programs offer best job & earnings prospects?
Why should I care?
Where the Jobs Are: How they’re Changing and Why Skills Matter!
1. Texas economic recovery was driven by the oil & gas supply chain
2. What happens in the rest of the world matters (exports)!
3. Demographic shifts are changing the face of Texas; where we live, what we look like, where CLF growth will occur
4. Job opportunities differ by: region, industry, occupation, wage, education, and by skill set. The Triangle vs. Rural Texas
5. Job demand, earnings, wealth all becoming more bifurcated.
6. Pink squirrels: Looking for the perfect employee: Structural demand shifts lead to isolated skill shortages. (Interview to job: 12.6 to
22.9 days between 2010 and 2015)
7. Information technology is not an occupation, industry or major. It is a ubiquitous skill set that permeates all jobs
8. It’s all about Skills: Technical, Soft (Workplace Essentials), Digital
Texas Labor Market Themes of the Day

Not All Areas Have Equal Exposure to the Oil & Gas Sector
Where the Jobs Are: How they’re Changing and Why Skills Matter!
Oil & Gas Market Opinions Trending Negative/Mixed
1. Brent will fall to $38 in March and climb to $58 in 4thQTR2015. “When history is written on this oil price crash, it will not fit easily alongside any other of the past 45 years if judged by its context or financial market repercussions.” (J.P. Morgan)
2. “The Barnett Shale used to be the place, but that’s simply not the case anymore.” (Tudor, Pickering Holt energy investments)
3. "No segment of the oilfield services and drilling industry will be immune to E&P companies' spending reductions, but the strain will vary by subsector and geography." (Moodys Analyst, SajjadAlam)
4. "We need to see oil prices above $60 and more toward $65 to spur a recovery in the rig count. The longer it stays below $60, the harder it’s going to be for U.S. production to ramp back up.” (Andrew Cosgrove, Global Drilling & Oilfield Analysis, Bloomberg)

“There’s not one specific thing or skill
people have to have to work for us.
But I can tell you why we fire people:
soft skills. We hire for hard skills. We
fire for soft skills. The ability to
interact and communicate with others
or behave ethically and take
responsibility for things tends to be
where people tend to break down.”
Rick Stephens, senior vice president of HR, The Boeing Corporation
Where the Jobs Are: How they’re Changing and Why Skills Matter!
1. Demonstrates ability to articulate all of the above,
including examples of concrete skills and abilities.
2. Anticipation of future skill needs. The person seems to
have other skills that might someday be useful to the
company.
3. Experience in the industry; especially in directly
related job titles and work activities.
4. Demeanor indicates good Workplace Essentials;
especially the ability to get along with others,
demonstrated by experience or general attitude.
5. More education is better. Degrees indicate broader
knowledge of the field of study … just smarter.
