There will likely be a loss in total jobs in 2009 and again in There will be a few industries that will not be hit as hard as others, parccularly health care. Smart companies will find ways to hold on to smart workers. Watch the economic recovery plans!

Older workers who lose their jobs may not return to the job market, but older workers who don t lose their jobs will likely stay on longer.

13 Demand Is Strongest Where Supply Is Weakest 1. Much of the older populacon lives in more remote areas. 2. Much of the tourist industry is in remote areas. 3. Manufacturing in Wisconsin tends to be in rural areas.

14 The Supply Side Of the Labor EquaCon Five Factors AffecCng Supply of Workers: 1. The number of entry level workers is diminishing; 2.

24 A Word of CauCon The economy is transiconing from tradiconal to new. Recessions speed transicons Economies will concnue to be transformed! It is a major mistake when economic development officials ignore or dismiss the structural changes that are being generated by the New Economy.

25 What is the New Economy? The New Economy is knowledge driven. The New Economy is global. The New Economy is entrepreneurial. The New Economy is rooted in informa3on technology. The New Economy is defined by innova3on. The New Economy is vola3le.

26 What is Knowledge AcCvity? The intangible ability to use exiscng facts and understandings to generate new ideas. Knowledge is embedded in the educacon, experience, and ingenuity of the wielder of knowledge. Knowledge is the ability to use what you have learned. Knowledge is the value- added component of the market.

28 Knowledge, ProducCvity, & Income Although educacon is the great predictor of wages and income, the real cause is produccvity. Knowledge, by enabling innovacon and creacvity, provides the myscc value- added to the product or service. Knowledge supercharges goods and services. Find states with high educaconal afainment and you ll usually find high produccvity and high wages.

35 A TransiCon, Economic to Demographic A global economy, where markets transcend and ignore naconal borders, diminishes and erodes the power and influence of the nacon state. NaCons and states have two choices; 1. A broad distribucon of educacon and wealth, or 2. A broad distribucon of ignorance and poverty. Minority populacons, which are not wholly parccipacng in the New Economy, will cost states somewhere down the line.

36 The New Economy Characterized by: Knowledge accvity; 1. InnovaCve 2. CreaCve 3. AdapCve 4. CollaboraCve 5. Technology based Global markets; Instant communicacon; VolaClity; Lessened government influence.
