The slowdown of the Houston economy is picking up speed.
The slowdown of the Houston economy is picking up speed.
After setting a torrid pace less than a year ago, the local economy is barely adding new jobs now. At the same time, the unemployment rate has shot up, and so has the number of first-time filers for jobless benefits.
Houston-area employers created 17,200 new jobs between January 2008 and January 2009, according to data released Thursday by the Texas Workforce Commission. That 0.7 percent year-over-year increase was the weakest since the summer of 2004 and doesn’t include the large layoffs already announced in Galveston at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Shriners Hospital for Children.
It’s a sharp departure from just a year ago, when Houston gained 87,400 jobs in the preceding year for a robust 3.5 percent clip.
“I think we’re headed to negative territory in just a few months,” said Barton Smith, director of the University of Houston’s Institute for Regional Forecasting. “By May or June they’ll be negative.”
Weaker hiring coupled with a spike in the number of folks looking for work caused the local jobless rate to jump to 6.5 percent in January, its highest level since July 2004, according to the commission. In December, the rate was 5.6 percent.
The rate is also climbing statewide. In January, the Texas unemployment rate was 6.4 percent, which commission Chairman Tom Pauken expects to grow to 8 percent later this year. Statewide data is seasonally adjusted while local data is not.
“It’s occurring a little faster than we thought,” said Smith, referring to the slowdown that has been especially hard on retailers and financial firms.
New figures due today
While the strong energy industry buffered Houston during 2008, Smith predicts the city soon will lose that cushion. As world economic conditions deteriorate and reduce the demand for energy, he expects widespread job cuts in oil field equipment manufacturing, a key industry for Houston.
The layoffs are still relatively mild but they’ll pick up during the year, he said.
“The national economic storm has hit us,” said Pauken, who spoke with the Houston Chronicle’s editorial board Thursday.
The unemployment rates in Houston and Texas are still better than the U.S. figure, which stood at 7.6 percent in January and rose to 8.1 percent in February, according to federal statistics released today.
Pauken pointed to the spike in initial claims for unemployment benefits that has made it difficult for out-of-work Texans to get through on the busy phone lines to file for benefits. The commission is adding phone capacity to handle the calls, he said.
He pointed to the spike in initial claims for unemployment benefits that has made it difficult for out-of-work Texans to get through on the busy phone lines to file for benefits. The commission is adding phone capacity to handle the calls, he said.
In January, 26,828 Houston-area residents filed initial claims for unemployment benefits. That’s up 24.4 percent from December, when 21,567 residents requested benefits, and nearly double the number of applicants a year ago.
Previous report revised
It’s not uncommon to see job losses from December to January because companies are cutting holiday help and evaluating budgets, said Joel Wagher, labor market analyst for Workforce Solutions, which manages employment services, education and training for the area.
But this time losses were higher than usual because of the struggling economy, he said. It was the worst one-month employment decline in the last 10 years, he said.
Also, the latest report included the annual revision of the previous year’s estimates. Houston’s job base didn’t grow nearly as quickly as the commission thought.
In January, the commission estimated the Houston area added 57,300 new jobs between December 2007 and December 2008, a 2.2 percent increase. But once actual payroll tax records were tallied, the area gained only 22,500 jobs during that time for a 0.9 percent increase.
Houston’s annual job growth peaked last June at 4.6 percent. It has declined ever since, Wagher said.

VSEP
VSEP Membrane Cleaners In addition to filtration systems, New Logic manufactures a complete line of chemical cleaners designed to maintain maximum flow rates in all VSEP applications.Years of exhaustive research and development by New Logic engineers have resulted in seven chemical cleaners formulated to attack the most stubborn foulants across a wide range of membranes and feed streams.While designed for VSEP membrane filtration systems, these advanced formulas are perfect for cleaning any membrane.To learn more about VSEP Advanced Cleaning Solutions, please choose a link below to visit our sister site http://www.membranecleaner.com/.
While membrane-based separations of liquids from solids have enjoyed increasing popularity over the last 20 years, the technology has an inherent Achilles heel that affects all membrane devices: fouling. This long-term loss in throughput capacity is due primarily to the formation of a boundary layer that builds up naturally on the membranes surface during the filtration process.In addition to cutting down on the flux performance of the membrane, this boundary or gel layer acts as a secondary membrane reducing the native design selectivity of the membrane in use.

DDR-150 Rotary Positioning Stage
Direct drive brushless DC servo motor
- Precision ground ABEC-7 4-point contact bearings
- Durable stainless steel top plate with through hole
- Resolution to 0.2 arc seconds
- Highly repeatable Hall effect home and limit switches
- Optional encoder scale cover
- Ideal for:
- Wafer Inspection
- Precision Assembly
- Laser Machining
Low Profile Direct Drive Rotary Stage
Anorad's new DDR-150 rotary positioning stages are designed for precise position and velocity control in light to medium force applications. High performance is achieved through use of a brushless DC servomotor, high resolution optical encoder and precision bearing set all housed in a compact and precisely machined aluminum base with a rugged stainless steel top plate.
The direct drive servo control of the brushless DC motor has several advantages over conventional gear driven rotary stages. Backlash is eliminated, torque variation is minimized, plus gear and brush wear are no longer factors in long term usage. Added benefits include speeds up to 360 rpm, 0.2 arc second resolution and ±1 arc second repeatability. Step-and-settle time is also reduced due to increased servo bandwidth.
Available options for the DDR-150 include a variety of encoder resolutions to meet your speed and accuracy requirements. An axial through hole for use with pneumatic or optical devices; adjustable home, limit and hardstop positions; and a sheet metal cover to protect the encoder and internal components.
