Implications of National Forecast for the Dayton Metropolitan Economy
Defense Budget Squeeze Impact • Number of Jobs Linked to Wright Patterson Air Force Base Activities ~ 25,000 to 30,000 • Cuts are likely to be program specific for particular big ticket items, impact on Wright Patterson related employment is uncertain. • If one assumes a 10% drop in WPAFB related employment over a 3 to 4 year period, that implies 2500 to 3000 fewer jobs or an annual impact of about a 1000 jobs. • It represents a head wind on local job growth • One potential upside – potential wins in next BRAC rounds
Summary • Job growth in the Dayton Metro Area economy has stalled in the last 24 months • The Dayton Metro Area Unemployment rate remains closely linked to National levels but is lagging behind • While the Dayton economy mirrors more closely the national economy in 2013 than at any point in the last 20 years, reductions in planned defense spending will constitute a headwind over the next few years.
