U of O’s Index of Economic Indicators – November
The Oregon economy lost momentum in November. The three-month moving average of the Oregon Measure of Economic Activity was -0.93, largely unchanged from October. The measure indicates Oregon is growing below the trend rate of growth established over the 1990–2011 period. The manufacturing, construction, household, and services sectors all weighed negatively on the measure. Note that inflation-adjusted personal income less transfer payments grew at a slower rate in the third quarter, up 2.3 percent year-over-year. Compared to the first quarter, this measure of income is essentially flat, consistent with slow economic growth.
The University of Oregon Index of Economic Indicators ™ slipped 0.3 percent to 88.8 (1997=100) in November. The majority of the underlying components deteriorated during the month, including Oregon employment services payrolls (largely temporary help firms), the Oregon weight-distance tax (a measure of trucking activity), consumer sentiment, core manufacturing orders, and the interest rate spread. Although initial unemployment claims continued to decline, suggesting sufficient economic activity to limit the pace of layoffs, hiring gains remained tepid. Consequently, Oregon total nonfarm payrolls have moved sideways since February.
