Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. A new report shows New England added jobs for the first time in three years. At least in the first quarter of this year. But the New Egnland Economic Partnership reports that economic and employment growth will be slow for several years. Even so, there's a new picture of what kinds of jobs will be available in the region. We'll talk more about the new forecast and what it means for New Hampshire in a moment, but first.another new survey, this one on college grads. After years of barely any activity, the job market for college seniors and graduate students appears to be picking up. A new survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that service-sector employers expect hiring to be up 16 percent over last year. Manufacturers predicted an increase of 12.6 percent. The only decrease is Government and nonprofit employers who expect to hire four and a half percent fewer grads. It's the first increase in college hiring in 3 years. And, apparently, the Northeast is the place to be. Entry Level hiring is taking a very positive turn here. 20.9% of employers in this part of the country plan to hire new grads. A sharp contrast to other parts of the country. |

Joining us now to talk about the New England Economic outlook and job prospects for New Hampshire and the region are Ross Gittell, a Professor at the University of NH's Whittemore School of Business and Economics and Dennis Delay, the Director of Special Projects with the Workforce Opportunity Council. Q Ross Gittell: According to the latest economic forecast: "New England is not expected to recover jobs lost in the recession til the 3rd quarter of 2006" way behind the expected NATIONAL recovery" Why -- such a slow recovery in this Region? and what are implications for NH? Q Dennis Delay: Job Growth in NH is UP -- we're doing better than the rest of New England -- WHY? Q Ross or Dennis/ Until recently, the employment outlook was dim. Employers concerned about the economy had DELAYED hiring. What changed? q Dennis Delay: Hiring is Up in NH -- Where will the jobs be? in what fields are we seeing job growth? Entry level jobs or skilled jobs? Q Do we have the SKILLED workforce to meet the job demands? Q Ross/Dennis: Is it fair to say that we're seeing JOB GAINS.in the area of LOW wage positions? Q According to a new UMASS survey: More than HALF of NH's small businesses that plan to hire --will employ temporary or contract workers. ROSS GITTELL: What does that mean for the FUTURE of NH's economy? Q Dennis: Back in 2000.college grads asked the question: " How big is my signing bonus? Now. its' Will I get a job? Latest figures show hiring is Up. Any anecdotal evidence that things are getting better for college grads? Q We all remember back in the 90's when the JOB market was HOT. Recruiters hit beaches during spring break to find workers. Good old days. Ross -- you're at the business school. What's RECRUITING been like this year? Q Dennis Delay: College students will be competing against young laid-off workers with a few years experience for entry level jobs. Is there hope for the ranks of the LONG-TERM unemployed? Will Job hunters life soon be getting a bit easier?? =================== Q Let's talk about Offshore/Outsourcing. We know manufacturing has taken a hit. Now, we're hearing that WHITE COLLAR jobs will be moving overseas. Forrester Research out of Cambridge says: 3.3 million American Service Industry Jobs -- would go overseas in the next 15 years. ============= INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY is one of the hardest hit sectors -- jobs being exported. What jobs are most vulnerable to offshore outsourcing? According to Research by UCLA at Berkley: vulnerable jobs are: x-ray technicians, accountants, health record technologists, medical transcriptionists and architectural drafters. Ross: Does that mean.x-rays and mri's -- that you get done at your local hospital with digital storing may soon be read by someone in India? Q What are the growth fields?? Nuclear Medicine technologists who operate state of the art imaging machines. Demands for test increasing with aging babyboomers. Q HOw do you safeguard against your JOB being offshored our outsourced? Q Any parting advice for those looking for a Job? |

Q Best prospects are in the Service Sector? Recruitment of new grads is up 16.1% over last year. Information technology is the sector that's been hit the hardest by the export of skilled jobs to up and coming economies like India, Russia and the Phillipines. - work done more cheaply. Ripple from offshore outsourcing will be felt in other industries. |

| Outsourcing Return to index of stories... |
One concern for many here in New England and the nation is out-sourcing. It's believed that as many as 3-point 3-million jobs will move overseas by 2015. The research firm Forester reports that companies are shipping jobs overseas even faster than originally believed. The firm also says the raging controversy about out-sourcing is doing nothing to slow it down. In fact, it may be speeding up the shipment of American jobs to cheap overseas labor. How will that impact us here in New Hampshire? |
| Small biz survey Return to index of stories... |
-- Small businesses in New England have a brighter view of the future than their counterparts nationwide, but they're also finding it hard to locate qualified applicants to fill job openings. In a new U-MAss survey, more than 39 percent of New England small businesses said they expect the next three months to be a good time to expand. The national average is 15 points loower. University of New Hampshire professor Ross Gittell said the news is long overdue. He said the optimism among the small businesses was consistent with other data showing the region's economy is improving. In New Hampshire, more than half of the small businesses planning to hire new workers said they would hire temporary, leased or contract workers. AP-NY-05-20-04 1037EDT |
