The decision to limit production marks a reversal of the pump-at-will strategy OPEC adopted in November 14. What motivated OPEC to reverse course? The oil ministers didnt offer any explanations, but industry analysts have suggested a variety of reasons. OPEC has grown impatient waiting for demand to catch up with supply. The initial bump from lower prices has evaporated. Growth remains weak and the International Monetary Fund has ratcheted down its forecast several times in recent years. With each adjustment, the International Energy Agency has ratcheted down its forecast for crude demand as well. Whats Going on with Oil?

Employment Update Metro Houston created 500 jobs in August, according to the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Though one of the weakest reports for August in recent his-tory, the data reflect an improvement over August 15, when the region lost 800 jobs. The report also suggests that employment in several sectors hit hard in the downturnmining and logging; trade, transportation, and utilities; and professional servicesmay be stabilizing, albeit at much lower levels than 18 months ago. Though August employment numbers will be revised later this month and again in March 17, at first blush, the numbers look promising. In the 12 months ending August 16, Houston created 14,200 jobs. That performance is far weaker than 46,400 jobs in the 12 months ending August 15. One must remember that the August 15 total included the last four months of 14, a period in which the region created more than 73,000 jobs. Those last four months offset the following eight months of job losses, masking just how weak Houstons economy was in early 15. One should note that during the current downturn, TWC has yet to report a 12-month period in which Houston lost employment. The region, however, has not recouped the seasonal loss of 47,800 jobs that occurred in January 16. Layoffs of this magnitude occur every year as workers hired for the holiday season are dismissed and restructuring decisions made in the fall are acted upon. As growth resumes in February, the region usually returns to its previous employment peak by May or June. That hasnt been the case this year. Though Houston has recorded net employment gains in five of the past seven months, those gains have not been enough to offset Januarys losses. The region remains 27,500 jobs below its previous peak. ~ GHP Economy at a Glance Volume 25
