QUARTERLY ECONOMIC UPDATE | Q1 2014
The Columbus 2020 economic update for the
first quarter of 2014 covers regional economic
data and economic development activities
from January to March. The analysis of the
regional economy (pages 1 to 9) was prepared
by Bill LaFayette, Ph.D., RegionomicsTM LLC.
FOREWORD By Frank Wojcik Senior Portfolio Manager, Fifth Third Private Bank Despite a harsh winter that negatively impacted many parts of Ohio and
during the first quarter of 2014 with the unemployment rate declining to 4.9 percent in March from 5.8 percent in December. Because of a diverse and sustainable economic base, the Central Ohio job environment remains more constructive than the majority of Ohio and the United States. With total payroll employment now approaching one million, we are steadily increasing our importance as a metropolitan area. Employment increased in logistics, healthcare, leisure and government services, while severe winter weather negatively impacted retail and housing related activities. Expectations are that real estate construction will resume in the coming months and job creation should accelerate in these areas. Also being watched with curiosity is the potential impact of the Utica Shale drilling in eastern Ohio. Several Central Ohio firms are involved in the exploration and distribution of oil and natural gas. A successful energy production outcome should result in further job creation associated with these activities. Several years ago Central Ohio leaders from government, business and education formulated a plan to invest in job training, education, infrastructure and redevelopment of neglected neighborhoods. We are now beginning to reap the rewards of a collaborative effort by the people in our community who did not wait for the local economy to recover, but made the recovery happen. Congratulations and thanks to all involved for their hard work and foresight. While many parts of the U.S. and the world are striving to recover from the recession levels, Central Ohio has exceeded prior peak levels of economic growth, setting an example for other cities on how to structure sustainable growth.

QUARTERLY ECONOMIC UPDATE | Q1 2014
EMPLOYMENT, LABOR FORCE, UNEMPLOYMENT RATES
COLUMBUS REGION UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE Columbus MSA employment increases less than
average in the first quarter: Columbus MSA
employment in March was 982,800, which is 1,800
(0.2 percent) higher than in December. Ohio
employment increased 0.3 percent and U.S.
employment increased 0.4 percent. Employment
growth over the past 12 months was 11,800 (1.2
percent) for the MSA, 1.0 percent for Ohio, and 1.7
percent for the U.S.
Regional unemployment rate declines: The 11-
-adjusted
unemployment rate fell from 5.8 percent in December
to 4.9 percent in March. The December rate was lower
than both the 6.1 percent Ohio unemployment rate
and the 6.7 percent U.S. rate.
The decline in the Columbus Region unemployment
rate was driven both by a decline of 3,600 in the labor
force and an increase of 6,700 in the number of
employed residents.
Gap between normal and actual labor force
growth increases: The difference between reported
labor force and the level assuming normal growth
increased from 47,000 in December to 54,000 in
March.

QUARTERLY ECONOMIC UPDATE | Q1 2014
HOUSING
Building permits down sharply from a year ago.
Building permits issued in the Columbus MSA were
down 31.5 percent from the same months of 2013,
compared to a 6.6 percent U.S. increase. The decline
was driven largely by a spike in units in the volatile
multi-unit category this time last year. Units in multi-
unit structures accounted for 46 percent of local
permits, compared to 39 percent of national permits.
For the year, permits were up 14 percent locally and 16
percent nationally.
Single-unit permits issued during the first quarter
were down 2.1 percent from a year ago, compared
to a 0.2 percent drop nationwide.
Home sales in Columbus during the first quarter off
7.0 percent from a year ago: Home sales in the
Columbus Multiple Listing Service (MLS) area (larger
than and somewhat different from the Region) totaled
4,577 during the first quarter, compared to 4,920 in
2013. Sales nationwide during the quarter were down
6.6 percent from last year, and were down 9.9 percent
in the Midwest.
The dollar volume of home sales in the Columbus MLS
area totaled $740 million during the first quarter, down
2.8 percent from the same quarter last year.

QUARTERLY ECONOMIC UPDATE | Q1 2014
GDP AND INFLATION
U.S. GDP growth slows to a crawl in the first
quarter. Gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a 0.1
percent annual pace in the first quarter, weaker than
expected and its slowest pace in more than a year.
Major reasons for the weakness were a drawdown in
inventories and a decline in exports, which together
subtracted 1.7 percentage points from growth. Personal
consumption, however, was stable with growth of 3.0
percent.
Economists expect economic strength into early
2015: The April Wall Street Journal economic
forecasting survey expected GDP growth to remain at
around a three percent pace through the second
quarter of 2015. Three-quarters of the economists
polled continued to believe that their forecast is more
likely to be too low than too high.
Consumer sentiment improving: The Thomson
Reuters/University of Michigan Index of Consumer
Sentiment increased in April to 84.2, its highest level
since July. The index was 81.2 in January.
Overall inflation rose to 1.2 percent from 0.9 percent in
the fourth quarter, driven by higher food prices. Core
inflation, which excludes both food and energy, fell
from 1.5 percent to 1.3 percent.
