Phoenix economy among nation's weakest - Phoenix Business Journal:
zutkomi.blogspot.com
The first MetroMonitor study from the Washingtonb research group looks at the impacft of the recession on the 100largestt U.S. metro areas. It will be updated The study divides the metro areaz into five categories base on overalleconomic strength, and the Phoenicx area is positioned in the “second-weakest” categor with a diverse group of citied including Tucson, San Diego, Minneapolis, Orlandol and Cleveland. “Phoenix has one of the weakest economiesd in the nationright now,” accordinyg to Lee McPheters, director of the at .
“The characteristicd of this particular recession all combined to hit Arizona harder than almost any other and Phoenix has fallen furthe r than almost any other majorlabor market.” Overalp economic performance in the cities was determined in four change in employment rate from peak one-year percentage-point change in unemployment rate; change in grosws metropolitan product from peak levels; and one-yeaf change in home values. All data are current througnh the first quarterof 2009. Metro areas in Texaa and Oklahoma dominatedthe strongest-performing group, including San Antonio, Houston, Oklahoma City and Tulsa. No city west of N.M., ranked in the best-performing group.
While Detroif was ranked the weakest-performing city, metroi areas in California and Florida dominated thebottom 20. Fresno and Modesto were the California cities near the bottok ofthe rankings, as were the Florida citiea of Tampa, Jacksonville and Miami. “While some areas of the countrt have experienced only a shallow downturn and may be emerginf from therecession already, peoplee living in metro areas that are now performingy weakest economically should preparr themselves for a long recovery period,” according to studyy co-author Alan Berube, researchh director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings.
“What we did concludes is that, (for example) Phoenix was in the next-to-bottom group of metros on economic performance over the coursr ofthe recession,” he The rankings for the Phoenix metro area are all over the According to the MetroMonitor study, the Vallegy showed the strongest quarterly growth in wages from the fourth quarterr of 2008 to the first quarter of this Its gain of 2.6 percenf was far stronger than the U.S. average of 1 placing the cityat No. 1 in that category. Accordinb to the report, cities such as Phoenixd and Las Vegas that have sustained large job lossees saw their average wage levels rise over thelast quarter.
That may indicate migration to theswe placeshas slowed, especially among less skilledf workers, and that recent job losses have occurree disproportionately among lower-paying industries. While Phoenix was tops for wage the city ranked very poorlyg in nearly every othereconomivc indicator. Its quarterly drop in employmentwas 2.9 much greater than the national average drop of 1.5 That ranked Phoenix 98th among the 100 metroi areas. The Valley also performede poorly inhousing measures, ranking 92nd in the one-yearf change in housing prices, with a drop of 16.6 The national average drop was only 6.3 percent. “Phoenicx attracts potential buyers at thenationalo level.
It is a fast-movingf efficient market, and that is why prices have come ASU’s McPheters said. “The silvee lining is that homes are affordablwe againin Phoenix, setting the stage for a stronvg rebound in the economy after 2010.” The Phoenix area ranked 95th in the numbee of real estate-owned properties, with nearlhy four times more of those properties than the national REOs are properties that revert to the mortgage holdeer after an unsuccessful foreclosure According to Brookings, the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas those with at least 500,000 residents in 2007 collectively contain two-thirds of the nation’sz jobs and generate three-quarters of gross domestic product.
While the economt is in worse shape here than most other areas of the the Phoenix area has been down before and responded withstaggeringv growth. “Although Arizona is at a low the state and Phoenix have the capabilityy to rebound with growth rates two to three timew those of the nation asa whole.” McPheters

For starters, we have a much strongeer manufacturing sector locally than most peoplewoulrd think. That’s because the big headlines this year were about how closer its local assembly plant and had to go to Congress and ask for a bailoutg to keep it outof bankruptcy. But there are stillo thousands of manufacturers in theDayton region, and many of them are doingg well. Some are even We still hear about companiesx that need to hire more peopld and are looking for moreskillee workers. There are companies such as , and . These are the three finalists for our Manufactured of the Year award and are seeingstrong successes. Othe companies, such as and , also are growinvg or looking to expand.
All of theses companies are gems of the Dayton and we should be thankfull they call ourregion home. Othee successes for this year include the continued growthu in the healthcare industry, with several majo construction projects announced that include a new patient towerf at and a $100 millionm new hospital in Greene County by Kettering Healtyh Network. There are numerous smallef medical facilities that were built this year andnew doctor’ offices that opened, including the , which Dr.
Amol Soin opened in February and now has several offices and patients cominfg from throughout the country to Dayton for There were some changes this year also that will affecy the local business communitg for some timeto come. the saw some new faces join and named a new chietfexecutive officer. Jim Leftwich took over the reins ofthe region’s most successful economic development organization this past Leftwich has been with the coalitionb for several years, and is a familiaer face in the business community. He will undoubtedluy do a great job of steering the ship as the coalitiohn continues to work to recruit more jobs and companiesz toour region.
However, it was a loss for the communityywhen J.P. Nauseef stepped down from the coalition’sx top spot to enter the privates sector. Nauseef has been actively involve d in helping the local business community grow for aboutt adecade now, dating back to his involvement in helping staryt the iZone in the late Nauseef led the coalition through its successfupl Base Realignment and Closure campaign that won thousande of new jobs at and defended the existing base The business community has benefited from his hard-fought victoriee in the economic development arenq during the past several years.
Nauseef alwayws has put the community’s needs ahead of any politics or personal and hopefully that attitude will continue atthe coalition. Anothet positive for our regio that will continue to pay dividendasfor years, even decades to is the opening of the $30 million Former Iams Co. owne r Clay Mathile’s vision for the facility that offers course for businesws leaders and executives to help them become betterd leaders has becomea reality. The facilityu also will be somethingv that can be used for inspiration and strategicc advice for entrepreneurs looking tocreate tomorrow’s succesas stories.
So despite a nast recession and many thousandsx of people who have lost theit jobs thispast year, I thinlk there are a lot of positivees that we can draw from as we entetr 2009. Hopefully some of these succesasstories I’ve mentioned here will help lead to a more prosperous future that will allow those without jobs to regaim a paycheck, and to help create more opportunitie s for our region.
