More jobs means more homes selling

Workforce Solutions Alamo conducted a study, reported in the San Antonio Business Journal recently, showing the need for more skilled people to fill jobs in 33 categories. Five of these growing occupations are considered "green."

Here is the link to the article.

(I noticed that one of the jobs is that of loan officer.)

San Antonio was fifth on the list of cities experiencing a net gain in population as more people move to the metro area in search of jobs. This data is from the US Census for 2007-2008, and showed a 1.9% increase in population.

More jobs mean more prospective tenants in search of high-quality rental homes (see photo) and more home buyers relocating to San Antonio or moving up to a larger home. There is a direct correlation between good employment prospects and a healthy housing market.

Robin - Ceil follows the job market closely. If you don't have a job you won't be spending money, always has been and will always be. San Antonio is in a very good position to expand on all avenues and besides we are in the best area in the country for good living and will keep encouraging folks to come.

Hi Robin. Interesting that they always say where the demand will be in the future. The real question is where the jobs are going to be now. Even though the unemployment rate is quoted at around 10%, there are a lot more people working reduced schedules, part time, and jobs that they are way overqualified. I know a PHD that was working at Sears. It will be nice if the job situation improves, but we can't just rely on the government to create all these green jobs, there will have to be more innovation and improvements to current processes to make the jobs of the future

Thanks for your thoughtful comments! The whole working/retirement picture has changed in the last 20 years or so and we need to adapt.

Cheers,

Robin
