The US Economy on a Solid Growth Path • The US economy has solid momentum after 3.3% annualized real GDP growth in the third quarter. Fourth-quarter growth is estimated at 2.6% • Consumer spending continues to drive US economic growth, supported by rising employment, real incomes, and household wealth • Business fixed investment will benefit from expanding global markets and an easing of regulatory policies, although commercial building is slowing
US Economic Growth Rebounds in 2017 and 2018, as Investment Leads the Way
Job Growth Slows as US Approaches Full Employment while Inflation Rises Moderately
Indiana’s Real GSP Growth Outpaces Payroll Growth, Indicating Higher Productivity
Indiana’s Job Market Remains Solid; Service Sector Growing More Slowly Than National Avg
Higher Productivity, Fewer Available Workers Will Translate Into Higher Wages
Peak in Vehicle Sales will Limit Further Gains in Auto Manufacturing, a Major Indiana Employer
Home-Building Increasing Steadily in IN, with Gains Coming More from Single-Family Homes
Indiana Population Growth Relatively Slow, but Outpacing Most Neighboring States
Bottom Line for Indiana • Wage and salary income continues steady growth, even with downward revision in 2016 • Gains will need to come from wage rates more than payroll growth as state approaches full employment • Manufacturing still has some room to grow, even as auto sales level off • Out migration of jobs is an ongoing risk factor, while automation looms
Indiana is 2nd in Nation in Manufacturing Job Growth * July 2009 represents the low point of employment in Indiana. Job growth is as of January 2018, per Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
Indiana Employment by Private Sector Industry September 2017

Indiana Incentivizes Job Growth, Capital Investment and Research & Development Hoosier Manufacturers Deliver: • 57% of new jobs associated with EDGE projects are created by Manufacturers. • Next largest sector only 7% (wholesale trade) • 80% of capital investment as part of HBI Credit is made by Manufacturers. • Next largest sector only 10% (all others) • 95% of R&D spending is made by Manufacturers • Next largest sector only 2.5% (information technology) *Data from LSA 2017 Indiana Tax Incentive Evaluation
Overview • 901 Bills Introduced • 101 Bills Sent to Governor • Failure to pass comprehensive workforce development reform for the 2nd year in a row
Overview • What Did Pass This Year? • Sunday alcohol sales (SEA 1) • DACA licensing legislation (SEA 419) • CBD oil (SEA 52) • School funding shortfall (HEA 1002) - $25 M in 2017 and $75 M in 2018 • Water infrastructure task force (HEA 1267) • Software as a Service (SEA 257)
Structural Issues and Special Session • Failure to pass federal tax conformity and several important school issues, while clock ran out of Session • Governor has called for Special Session in May 2018. We expect debate on the following issues: • Federal Tax Conformity and Municipal Annexation • Funding for School Safety • Ball State Takeover of Muncie Schools • Vast supermajorities in both House and Senate makes it difficult to build consensus within Republican caucuses • Changes in Leadership in Indiana Senate • Retirement of President Pro Temp David Long (R – Ft. Wayne) • Change in leadership in powerful Senate Appropriations and Senate Tax & Fiscal Policy Leadership
Two Major Bills with Minimal Impact • SEA 50 – Governor’s Workforce Cabinet • Disbands the existing State Workforce Innovation Council (SWIC) which has robust employer (and manufacturer) representation and replaces it with a Cabinet that is majority Governor’s representatives (agency heads) • As the IMA pointed out, this new structure may not comply with federal law, so the Governor’s office asked for a last minute provision to be added so that they can add more members at the Governor’s discretion, presumably to bring it to federal compliance if necessary • Concentrates more duties/responsibilities on this new Cabinet and gives them the plan to study the workforce system (again) by November 1 of this year. Also asks them to put together a plan for career counseling during the same time frame
Two Major Bills with Minimal Impact • HEA 1002 – Workforce Funding and Programs • Makes some changes to existing workforce programs, making them more widely available and, presumably, more efficient. Programs impacted include WorkIndiana (adult basic education), NextLevel Jobs Employer Training Grant, EARN Indiana work/study program, and the Workforce Ready Grant • Has the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency perform a multi-year (likely 10 year) study and evaluation of all workforce programs and will report on them annually • Keeps the IMA’s definition/delineation of the terms “apprenticeship” and “work-based-learning” training programs
