  • November Feature Article Employment in New Jersey’S Labor Areas Annual Review and Outlook Series
    November Feature Article Employment in New Jersey’s Labor Areas Annual Review and Outlook Series he national and state economic outlooks are both appreciably more positive than at this time last year. As 2009 ends, most experts believe that the economy bottomed out in theT third quarter and that a fragile recovery is underway. The most recent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates support this view. In the third quarter, GDP grew at an annualized rate of 3.5 percent, a marked improvement over the huge losses suffered in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of this year. Since then, GDP declined by 0.7 percent in the second quarter and had positive growth of 3.5 percent in the third quarter. Most experts believe that the economy will grow between 2.5 to 3.0 percent in 2010. Personal consumption expenditures in the third quarter were up 3.4 percent, after declin- ing in three of the previous four quarters. A challenge going forward will be to sustain con- sumer spending in the face of some serious obstacles, some of which are discussed below. The outlook for the labor market is far less optimistic. The labor market economy will es- sentially remain stagnant for a while longer. The national unemployment rate is now in double digits for the first time since the 1981-1982 recession. The New Jersey unemployment rate is at the highest level since early 1977. In October 2009, the national unemployment rate increased to 10.2 percent while the New Jersey unemployment rate rose to 9.7 percent.

    The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Breaking Ground conference drew over 300 participants from throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. These participants included municipal officials, community activists, developers, urban designers, and numerous others that are working to enhance the livability of our communities. DVRPC thanks the keynote speakers and the numerous session speakers who shared their time and expertise to make Breaking Ground a success. Morning Plenary Session Barry Seymour, Executive Director, Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) Mr. Barry Seymour welcomed the Breaking Ground Conference participants and suggested that the day’s topics on creating sustainable, livable communities were extremely timely, given the fiscal challenges currently facing municipalities. He noted that tools for building livable communities contribute towards increasing efficiencies and reducing costs. Sustainable design, green infrastructure, and green buildings can lower energy costs, for example, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements can reduce health costs. Mr. Seymour introduced the conference’s theme of taking ideas for improving community livability from the planning stages to the implementation phase. He noted that the Greater Philadelphia region, as one of the most livable in the nation, with strong residential neighborhoods; a walkable, mixed-use downtown; and an existing transportation system that, while not perfect, is envied by many other major metropolitan regions. The purpose of the conference was to learn from each other about how to make individual communities more sustainable, what resources are available, and what changes may be in the air on the federal level. Mr. Seymour noted the broad range of topics to be covered throughout the day as well as the diversity of the conference attendees and encouraged participants to network and share ideas and success stories.

  • North Versus South, Jersey Style
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contact: All references must attribute: PATRICK MURRAY “Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll” 732-263-5858 (office) 732-979-6769 (cell) For more information: Monmouth University Polling Institute [email protected] 400 Cedar Avenue West Long Branch, NJ 07764 EMBARGOED to: www.monmouth.edu/polling Monday, March 31, 2008, 5:00 am NORTH VERSUS SOUTH, JERSEY STYLE A shared sense of place hard to find in the Garden State New Jersey has had a split identity ever since Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret divided the new colony into east and west in the late 1600s. More than 300 years later, the state is still a tale of two Jerseys, with the more populous northern portion geared toward New York City and the southern half tuned into Philadelphia – Ben Franklin’s “barrel tapped at both ends.” Do these regional identities mean anything? Well, according to the latest Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll , if you’re from North Jersey, it means very little. However, if you’re from South Jersey, it means a great deal. When asked whether government spending and programs are distributed fairly across the Garden State or if a certain region is favored, state residents give the edge to the north. About 1-in-3 (33%) say that North Jersey gets more than its fair share of resources. Only 10% feel South Jersey benefits more than it should from public programs. Another 21% feel that aid is divided equitably across both regions and 35% have no opinion. The poll also found that how you see this issue depends on where you live.
