1 Forecast for Ottawa County 214 was yet another great year! George A. Erickcek Brian Pittelko W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research February 3, 215
2 1 Outline The national economy is speeding forward on $2. per gallon gasoline and low interest rates Robust car and truck sales are fueling Michigan s economy Ottawa County had a good year in 214 Forecast: continued employment growth 1
3 GDP Grew by a Moderate 2.6 Percent Annual Rate in the Third Quarter: Consumers Did Their Part 2 6 Gross Domestic Product and Nonfarm Employment 1,5 Percentage change in GDP Employment gains have been outstanding, more than 8, jobs in the fourth quarter.

8 7 So Let s Sum Up The national economy was surprisingly strong in the third quarter and continued growth is forecasted Inflation and interest rates are low and expected to stay low. Gas price may stay low for the year. National employment is on the rise but wages remain flat The Fed has stopped its purchasing of bonds but will likely keep interest rates low On the negative side, the nation is standing alone in the global economy 7
9 8 Michigan Forecast Strong auto sales are pushing the state forward and most are forecasting that auto sales will remain high until at least 217 In 214, state employers added 31, jobs with manufacturers adding 11,6 jobs during the year The state s unemployment is down to prerecession levels but still higher than the nation s Employment growth is expected in 215 and 216 8

23 The Question Remains, However: Is Ottawa County s Success Due to Its Industry Mix or Competitiveness? Private-sector employment in 213 reached 27 levels in the Ottawa County Was this because of the strength of the national economy simply raising all boats including Ottawa County? Or Was it because of Ottawa County s economic competitiveness? 22
