GLOBAL CORPORATE REAL ESTATE ADVISORS Local Market Drivers & Economics Because of the Bipartisan Budget Act, uncertainties about the Federal Budget should decrease because the possibility of a government shutdown, at least over the next two years, is reduced. There is also sustained recovery in the housing sector as well as an improving global economy. Nominal personal income is expected to grow in the state of Tennessee in 2014 and 2015 by 4.2 and 4.5 percent respectively. Nonfarm job growth rates for 2014 and 2015 are expected to be 1.5 and 1.8 percent. Drivers are going to be powerful expansions of Tennessee leisure and hospitality labor force as well as employment in professional and business services. Unemployment is expected to decrease in 2014 and 2015 to levels as low as before 2008, to a rate of 7.0 percent at the end of 2015. However, unemployment is currently at 7.8 percent for the state of Tennessee. Unemployment in the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, TN MSA is at 6.6 percent.
