INTRODUCTION In this Metro Economies report we document the importance of metropolitan areas to the US economy. That influence, and the contribution of metro economies to US economic growth increased again in 2016. We also demonstrate the prominence of US urban economies in the global economy. Current economic conditions across the US metros and the outlook going forward are reviewed, and we discuss the implications for future growth of the now tight labor markets across the country.

METROPOLITAN ECONOMIES AND GROSS METRO PRODUCT Metropolitan areas dominated US economic growth in 2016. They were home to 85.7% of the nation’s population, and their share of total employment increased to 87.9% as metros added 2.5 million jobs, accounting for all US job gains. The metro shares of US total personal income, 88.9%, wage income, 91.5%, and of real gross domestic product, 91.0%, each increased in 2016. Their share of economic growth in 2016 was even greater – metros contributed 99.7% ($529 billion) of the increase in GDP, its highest contribution in at least 25 years. Combined, the nation’s 10 highest-producing metro economies generated $6.5 trillion in economic value in 2016, surpassing the output of the sum of 37 US states. Their combined output exceeds all the nations of the world save China, and is 32% greater than that of Japan, the 3rd largest economy of the world (see Appendix Tables). Many US metros have larger economies than states. New York’s gross metropolitan product (GMP), the largest among metros at $1.66 trillion, exceeds the Gross State Product (GSP) of Texas, and Los Angeles’s exceeds that of Florida, the fourth ranked state in GSP. In many states, metro economies account for almost all of the state economy. In California, for example, the metro share of GSP is 99.0%. In Texas, it is 93.3%; in Florida 98%; and in New York, 97.3%. In 18 states the metro share of GSP exceeds 90%, and in 32 it exceeds 80%. Only in Montana, Wyoming, and Vermont is the metro contribution to GSP lower than 50% of the state economy. (Appendix Tables 3 and 4) The GMP of 38 US metros surpassed $100 billion in 2016, and we project that Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News will as well in 2017. The $10 billion GMP mark was surpassed by 201 metros (52%) in 2016, with Lafayette, IN, Springfield, IL, and Brownsville-Harlingen, TX, reaching that level last year. We project that five more will do so in 2017. (Appendix Table 2) Comparing metro economies to the nations of the world provides further evidence of the importance of US metros as drivers of the global economy. New York’s GMP would rank 10th among the nations of the world, ahead of Canada and South Korea. Twelve of the world’s 50 highest-producing economies are US metropolitan areas. Los Angeles would rank 17th,

2

ahead of Indonesia, and Chicago’s metropolitan economy ranks 22nd, larger than Saudi Arabia. Houston, Washington, Dallas, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, and Miami all rank among the top 50. Of the largest 100 world economies, 38 are US metros. Our 100th largest metro, Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, is larger than Estonia, the 105th largest country. (Appendix Table 2)

US METROS IN 2016 US GDP growth was weak in early 2016, primarily due to weak investment spending, but by yearend the pace of the economy had rebounded to the 2% pace we have seen since 2014, when the nation had finally regained the employment levels prior to the great recession. Overall, real GDP growth for the year measured 1.5%, while the combined real GMP growth of all metros was 1.6%. Across the nation, the South and the West saw faster growth than the Northeast and Midwest as the decades long migration pattern to the Sunbelt reasserted itself following the disruption of the housing crises and recession at the end of the last decade. The fastest growing metros were in the Sunbelt, led by those in Florida and Utah. Manchester, NH, and Toledo, OH, ranked 43rd and 44th overall in GMP growth at 3.1%, were the fastest growing northeast or Midwestern metros. (Appendix Table 8) In 2016, 72 metros (19%), saw job growth of greater than 3.0%; 153 metros (40%) had job growth of 2.0% or more, while 47 (12%) experienced actual job declines. (See Figure 1 and Appendix Table 8)

Real gross metropolitan product gains were led by Lake Charles, LA and its booming construction sector, one of 6 metros whose real GMP growth exceeded 5%. There were 16 metros, including San Francisco and Seattle with growth greater than 4%, and gains greater than 3% were generated by 53 metros (14%), Thirty percent of metros (113) grew by more

3

than 2.0%. However, largely due to the low oil prices, almost a quarter (95) of metros, including Houston, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa suffered real GMP declines. (See Figure 2 and Appendix Table 8)

THE US ECONOMY IN 2017 In 2017 we see continued strength in consumer spending driven by more-than-adequate income and wealth gains, and elevated levels of consumer confidence. We predict that growth in 2017 will equal 2.1%, thanks to solid contributions from consumer spending, as well as both residential and nonresidential fixed investment. Investment spending has strengthened following a weak 2016, and export demand for US goods will be bolstered by an improved world economy.

Employment gains will drift lower however as the labor markets tighten with the economy near full employment. From 2.5 million new jobs in 2016, employment gains will slow to 2.2 million in 2017, and less than 2 million in 2018. The slowdown in gains has been gradual, as have the turnaround in productivity gains that powered it. As the economy reaches its potential, and the jobless rate hits 4.0%, job growth will cool to 1.8 million in 2019.

METRO ECONOMIES IN 2017 Economic growth will continue to be most robust in the South and the West of the US, with home construction continuing to increase disproportionately there. The auto industry, after gearing up this decade will see softening of sales growth to the detriment of Midwest industry. The top ten growth list, as in 2016, is dominated by Mountain and Coastal metros, but notably includes Orlando as 6th fastest, buoyed by leisure spending and construction. Twenty-eight metros will exceed 3% job growth including Nashville, Las Vegas, and Dallas. A total of 109 (29%) will exceed 2%, as metros generate 2.0 million new jobs. Losses are projected in 58 metros (15%), mainly in the Midwest. (See Figure 3 and Appendix Table 8)

Only 21 metros will see decreases in real GMP in 2017, many of which were dependent upon the oil and gas industry still suffering from energy price declines. Thirty metros will exceed 4% growth, led by Lake Charles amid enormous LNG facility investment, among 94 (25%) which exceed 3%. And 56% (213 metros) will exceed 2%. (See Figure 4 and Appendix Table 8)

During 2016, 34 metro areas at long last surpassed their prerecession peak employment level. This brought the total number of metros at record high employment levels to 260, 68% of all 381 metros. In 2017 we estimate that another 14 will reach prerecession peak levels, bringing the total to 274, or 72%. (See Figure 5 and Appendix Table 11)

FIGURE 5: RETURN TO PEAK EMPLOYMENT

LABOR MARKETS GOING FORWARD In 2014, national employment finally regained its pre-recession peak job level, and in 2017 so have the job levels in over 70% of metros. The US unemployment rate, at 4.3% in July, reached its lowest level since 2007 prior to the great recession, having declined steadily since its 2009 peak at 10.0%. We project that the rate will fall to 4.0% over the next two years as the good job market lures discouraged workers back into the labor force. As the economy reaches full employment it also reaches growth constraints defined by labor force growth. Job growth, 1.5% in 2017, will slow to less than 1.0% per year by 2020 as the economy reaches full employment, and then to 0.5% annually by 2025, the projected growth in the labor force per year. This decline is largely due to the aging of the US population, especially as the baby boom generation moves into retirement years. The proportion of adult population which is over 65 years old has increased from 17% to 21% in the past decade, and will increase to 25% in the next. Moreover, US population growth, and hence labor force growth, is projected to slow to 0.6% per year in the next decade, with

one-half of this growth coming from immigration. That is, the natural rate of labor force and job growth will soon be less than 0.3% per year. In the absence of either faster labor force or productivity gains, the nation will be unable to achieve even the modest 2% growth, its current rate, into the future. In order to maintain a 2% rate of growth the US will require a combination of aggressive workforce training for the hard to employ and increased rates of immigration significantly beyond current levels. Unless such is achieved, the nation will be stuck in historic low GDP growth levels. In 2017 the metro area labor force will grow by 1.3%, and the labor force participation rate for all metros (the proportion of adults working or seeking work) is 62.4%. The participation rate had been as high as 66% in 2007, but it is not expected to rebound, mostly due to the aging population. The metros with a declining labor force are predominantly in the Northeast and Midwest including Chicago, Buffalo and Milwaukee. The fastest growing labor forces are generally in the South and West, notably Orlando, Nashville, and Salt Lake City. Among large metros labor force participation is especially high in Des Moines, Austin, and Minneapolis, and low in Riverside, Buffalo, and New Orleans. (Figures 6 and 7, and Appendix Table 13)

CONCLUSION Metro economies in 2016 were more important than ever to US economic growth. Metro job gains overcame rural job losses and their share of GMP increased to 91%, having contributed 99% of GDP growth. The US economy is finally reaching full employment, which is unambiguously good news, but as result GDP growth will decline unless productivity growth increases. Moreover, the aging labor force will itself result in a slowing of growth. Investment, including public investment in new and upgraded infrastructure can raise productivity and forestall the diminishment of real economic gains consequent to declining labor force growth.
