Colorado’s Small Business Would Benefit From Stronger U.S. Economic Growth
Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
The Vectra Bank Colorado Small Business Index for Colorado measured 114.3 in October 2011, down from a revised 114.8 in September 2011
Colorados unemployment rate was estimated at 8.3% in the latest month, down from the prior months 8.5% rate. Total employment grew by 23,100 jobs during the past 12 months
Improving U.S. economic performance in 2011s third quarter, should it continue, would provide a stronger foundation for growth within Colorados small business sector. Any improvement in what has been to date meager U.S. economic growth would pay dividends for Colorado’s small business sector, says Jeff Thredgold, corporate economist for Vectra Bank Colorado.
The U.S. economy saw a gain of 80,000 net new jobs during October, slightly below expectations. However, estimated job gains of the two prior months were revised higher by 102,000 jobs. The U.S. unemployment rate declined to 9.0%, versus 9.1% in the three prior months
U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH IMPROVES
According to the U.S. Commerce Department, American economic growth improved during 2011s July-September quarter, especially when compared to the anemic economic performance during the years first half. Slightly softer economic growth seems on tap in coming quarters, however, plenty of obstacles will be faced along the way, says Thredgold.
U.S. GDP, the most inclusive measure of economic activity taking place on U.S. soil, grew at a 2.5% real (after inflation) annual rate during the third quarter, matching the consensus view of forecasting economists. The 2.5% growth pace greatly exceeded the 1.3% real annual growth pace of the second quarter and the pathetic 0.4% growth pace during the January-March 2011 quarter.
Even as economic growth has improved, it still lags the 3.0%-4.0% real annual growth pace needed to bring the nations unemployment rate down from the 9.0% average of the past three years. Slow to moderate growth is the consensus, and recent data has dampened the worst-case views of those economic forecasters calling for an imminent return to recession.
The American consumer spent money more aggressively during the third quarter, with personal consumption rising at a 2.4% rate. Such growth rose at a lesser 0.7% pace in the prior quarter. American businesses also stepped up their spending pace during the third quarter, with investment in equipment and software rising at a 17.4% annual rate, the strongest pace in a year.
The American economy finally exceeded the real pre-recession peak of total economic output during 2007s final quarter. It took 15 quarters to offset the 5.1% decline in output during the Great Recession. This was three times the average number of quarters needed to reach the prior peak in other post-WWII recessions.
The level of U.S. economic performance is a component of the Colorado Small Business Index, as are the performances of the global and Intermountain economies. Stronger performance of any of the three pushes the Index higher.
The Vectra Bank Colorado Small Business Index for Colorado measured 114.3 in October 2011, down from a revised 114.8 in September 2011. The Index measures business conditions from the viewpoint of the Colorado small business owner or manager.
A lower Index number is associated with less favorable business conditions for Colorados small businesses. The Index uses 100.0 for calendar year 1997 as its base year. The Index also includes revisions to various historical and new forecast components as they become available.
IN COLORADO
The Colorado unemployment ratethe most heavily weighted component of the Vectra Bank Colorado Small Business Index for Coloradowas estimated at 8.3% in the most recent month, down from the 8.5% rate of the prior month. The 8.3% rate compares to the 8.8% rate 12 months ago. A lower Colorado jobless rate is a negative contributor to the Index as it suggests decreased access to labor for small businesses. Other associated factors typically tied to a lower unemployment rate, such as greater job creation, greater income gains and higher retail sales, pull the Index higher.
The states unemployment rate averaged 8.9% during 2010, 8.3% during 2009, 4.8% in 2008, 3.7% in 2007, and 4.3% in 2006. Colorados jobless rate averaged 4.6% between 1990 and 2005.
The last 12 months saw an estimated increase in Colorado employment of 23,100 jobs. This increase compares to a revised gain of 20,900 jobs in the prior year-over-year period. Colorado lost 25,500 jobs in 2010, lost 104,700 jobs in 2009, added 19,000 jobs in 2008, added 52,200 jobs in 2007, and added 53,100 jobs in 2006.
These job totals compare to gains averaging 46,500 net new jobs annually between 1990 and 2005. More recently, job gains leading to greater income creation and stronger retail spending, have a positive impact upon Colorados small businesses.
NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT
The U.S. Department of Labor reported a gain of 80,000 net new jobs in October 2011, weaker than the 100,000 net gain expected. However, estimated job gains of the two prior months were revised higher by 102,000 jobs.
The U.S. unemployment rate declined to 9.0% in October, versus the 9.1% rate of the three prior months. The current 9.0% jobless rate compares to the 9.7% rate of one year ago, the 10.1% rate of October 2009, and the 6.6% rate during October 2008.
Goods producing employment fell by 10,000 jobs in October, with a loss in construction (down 20,000 jobs) larger than the rise in manufacturing (up 5,000 jobs) and mining & logging employment (up 5,000 jobs). Private-sector service providing employment rose by 114,000 jobs in October, led by gains in professional & business services (up 32,000 jobs) and education & health services (up 28,000 jobs). Overall government employment fell by another 24,000 jobs during the month.
The U.S. economy suffered a net decline of 3.6 million jobs during 2008, the worst year since 1945. The net loss of 5.1 million jobs during 2009 easily surpassed the 2008 total. The American economy added 940,000 net new jobs during 2010, or 78,000 per month. Gains-to-date during 2011 have totaled 1,256,000 jobs, or 126,000 per month.
Roughly 130,000 net new jobs need to be added monthly just to meet the needs of a rising population, and just to keep the unemployment rate stable. Consistently stronger gains are necessary to lead the unemployment rate lower.
The November 2011 Vectra Bank Small Business Index for Colorado will be released on December 8, 2011.

Question by : What’s a good way to indicate on my resume that you’ve been laid off from a job?
I’ve been laid off from my last two jobs and have big periods of unemployment due to those lay offs. Is there a good way to indicate this on my resume, so potential employers don’t think I just quit those jobs?
Best answer:
Answer by Bob_Jones
No. I’d leave it. Most employers will assume you’ve been laid off, especially in this economy. I did actually quit my last job and have had several interviews. They simply ask why I left. If you’ve been laid off you’ll be fine. You could put something in your cover letter if you’re really worried about.

How to find a list of companies that offer Employment Visas (H-1) to someone from another Country?
Question by Melissa: How to find a list of companies that offer Employment Visas (H-1) to someone from another Country?
I wish to help my father. He is a very talented, experienced man. He is an Electrical Engineer. He lives in Venezuela, but the situation for finding a job there is bad, even for people as experienced as he is. Is there a website, or place that I can find information, post his resume, and look for job opportunities in companies that offer the Employment Visa (H-1)? I tried http://www.monster.com/ , but I would have to contact each and every company ans ask them if they offer the H-1. Is there a site, or place where ALL the companies that offer H-1 across the Country are listed? Please help me, my father is desperate and I worry about him, and my sister, who lives over there, too. I know how the H-1 visa works, and the dependants, etc. What I need to know is how to find who is interested in hirering my father and giving him an H-1 visa.
