Central
Region Summary
Review
of 2007 and Outlook for 2008
The Central Region recorded growth in total nonfarm employment for the sixteenth consecutive year,
reaching a level of 1,278,700, up by a robust 11,700 jobs in the first nine
months of 2007 compared with 2006.
Employment gains were demonstrated in both of the region’s labor areas
as the Edison Labor Area added 7,200 jobs and the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area
added 4,500 jobs over the nine-month period.
The region’s growth rate over the period was above the state’s growth
rate (0.9% vs. 0.5%).
The Central Region’s significant employment gain over the
first nine months of 2007 occurred in the following private sectors:
professional and business services (+3,200),
other services (+2,800), leisure and hospitality (+1,700) and educational and
health services (+1,700).
The boost in
professional and business services can
be attributed to the increase of employers utilizing outside businesses to
perform support functions. Other
services’ average employment for the first nine months of 2007 more than
doubled compared with last year’s (+1,400).
Leisure and hospitality jobholdings expanded
as hotels such as the Heldrich Center
and a Residence Inn opened in the region.
Educational and health services continued
to generate employment, despite growing at a much lesser rate in 2007 than 2006
(1.0 % vs. 2.3%).
The
region’s job losses occurred in trade, transportation and utilities (-1,300)
and manufacturing (-1,100). The
reductions were partially due to companies restructuring their workforce or
relocating out of New Jersey.
Economic growth in the
Central Region should continue in 2008.
The five-county region’s projected population of 2,740,200 in 2009
should have an impact on payrolls in the construction, retail trade, and other
services industries. Job gains in retail
trade should continue to grow as new shopping centers are scheduled to open
through the remainder of the year and into the first half of 2008. Construction payrolls should remain steady as
ongoing projects continue along with new projects that are scheduled to start
in the year. Other services can expect
growth due to companies meeting the needs of local residents’ busy lifestyle.
Edison Labor Area
Review
of 2007 and Outlook for 2008
By Michael Dugan and Anntionette
Blackston, Bureau of Labor Market Information
Total nonfarm
employment in the Edison Labor Area reached a record high level of 1,032,500
during 2007, based on average employment for the January – September period.
Increasing for the sixteenth consecutive year, payrolls in the labor area
expanded by 7,200 or 0.7 percent when compared with 2006, rate of growth was
slightly higher than the states (+0.5%). Since 1991, employment in the
five-county labor area has increased by 243,100.
In the goods-producing
sector, which saw jobholding decline by 1,400 over the year, manufacturing was
the main culprit, accounting for 1,200 of the loss. Factory employment continued to erode as
Johnson Controls, a manufacturer of automotive batteries closed its location in
New Brunswick and Ferrero
USA, Inc., a maker of confectionary products in Somerset,
reduced its workforce to consolidate operations to Branford, Connecticut. Also, Eisai, a Tokyo-based pharmaceutical
company, moved employees (-225 jobs) from their Bedminster (Somerset County)
and Teaneck (Bergen
County) locations and moved into a new
building in Woodcliff Lakes (Bergen
County). Ward Products, a manufacturer of automobile
antennas for Ford and Chrysler, closed at the end of December 2006 (-80
jobs).
In the other goods-producing
component, for the first time since the 2003-2004 period, construction
employment declined (-200). Construction
payrolls moved lower mainly due to a slowdown in residential building
activity. Comparing August 2007
year-to-date (latest available) data with that of a year ago, new privately
owned residential housing units authorized by building permits are considerably
down in the Edison Labor Area (5,173 in 2006 vs. 4,195 in 2007) indicating the
area is now experiencing the new residential construction slowdown that is
being felt nationwide.
Although residential housing
units authorized in the Edison Labor Area are down about 19 percent from the
same period a year ago, the area still maintains a significant portion of the
statewide total. Out of the 16,715 new,
residential housing units authorized to be built in New
Jersey through August, Ocean (1,298), Monmouth (1,238), Middlesex
(1,028), and Somerset
(631) counties account for over one quarter (25.1%) of the permits. Many families are still moving to Ocean County,
continuing its status as a desirable place to live, ranking it as number one in
the state in single-family units authorized. The estimates of resident
population reveal that the four counties in the Edison Labor Area account for
over 26 percent of New Jersey’s total population (July 2006, latest
available). This large population base
of potential customers will continue to attract businesses to the area.
A further look at the local
housing market indicates the Shore region’s housing prices have fared better
than other parts of the state. For
instance, in the second quarter of 2007, the median price for an existing single-family
home in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex and Somerset
counties was $385,100, down 0.1 percent or $200 from the same quarter last
year. In comparison, the median price in
an area that includes Essex, Hunterdon, Morris, Sussex and Union
counties fell 6.4 percent. Nationally, prices
fell 1.5 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors.
In the service-providing
sector, which advanced by 8,600, other
services (+2,700), professional and business services (+2,300) and government (+1,600) accounted for the majority of
the increase.
Payrolls in other services expanded due to
meeting the needs of the area’s residents.
Other services includes companies doing repair work or providing personal
services as well as religious, professional, political, social and civic organizations. Employment in other services rose primarily
because of hiring in the personal services component such as hairstyling
and nail salons.
In 2005 (latest data
available), per capita personal income for the labor area was $44,297, an
increase of 11.8 percent since 2000. The
area is also home to the second wealthiest county in the state, Somerset County,
which had a 2005 per capita personal income of $61,039, ranking only behind Morris County’s
$62,585. Additionally, according to the
Census Bureau’s 2006 American Community Survey, the Edison Metropolitan
Division’s median household income was 110 percent of the state’s median
household income ($71,253 vs. $64,470). Somerset County
also ranked second statewide with a median household income of $91,288 for
2006. An estimated 57 percent of the
families in the area had a family income of $75,000 or more.
Providing a significant
impact to the local economy was The Breeder’s Cup – the internationally known
thoroughbred horse-racing event was held October 26th and 27th
at Monmouth Park in Oceanport. The
second day is when the main event — the Breeders' Cup Classic, carrying a purse
of $5 million — took place. Over 80,000
fans came to Monmouth
Park with nearly 27,000
on Friday and over 41,000 on Saturday.
Wagering at Monmouth on Saturday topped $12 million with worldwide
wagering coming in at just over $112 million.
Breaking the state of New
Jersey records for wagering which were set the
previous day during Friday’s racing card.
Track officials say about $30 million was spent on renovations and
catch-up maintenance dating back two years, geared to getting Monmouth Park
ready to host the Breeders' Cup. The economic impact that horse-racing fans
provided may top $60 million due to spending at area hotels, restaurants,
convenience stores, movie theaters, car rental agencies and other businesses,
according to racetrack and tourism officials.
Banks and retailers are also
attracted to the area’s affluent residents.
For example, Yardville National Bank opened in Woodbridge (January, +20
jobs), Chase Bank (Franklin Park, February, +20 jobs), Hudson City (Old Bridge,
June, +20 jobs) and Valley National Bank opened in Hillsborough (May, +15
jobs). Negating some of those gains in
the financial activities’ sector was a development that occurred during the
first two months of this year: Wachovia Bank eliminated the retail credit sales
support unit and transferred some of the positions to North
Carolina and Alabama,
laying off a total of 65 workers.
In retail trade, six arts and crafts Rag Shop stores closed
in Monmouth and Ocean counties near the end of July (Wall, Middletown,
Brick, Lakewood, Lanoka
Harbor and Toms River). Between 10-20 people worked at each location. Despite
showing a drop of 1,100 in retail, several notable developments occurred: Stop and Shop opened in Whiting (Manchester
Township, Ocean County) with 100
employees in May 2007; at the Heritage Square Shopping Center in South
Brunswick, Staples opened (+50 jobs) and in July, Best Buy (+100) and Target
(+90) opened.
Additionally, The Shoppes at Old Bridge
began opening some of its doors in early May 2007. The remaining stores opened later with over
300 workers. Retailers include Ann
Taylor Loft, Chico’s,
Coldwater Creek, New York & Company, White House/Black Market, Children’s
Place, Gap Kids/Baby Gap, Banana Republic, Gap/Gap
Body, Aerosoles, Clarks/Bostonian, Yankee Candle and Corbo Jewelers.
Located on the site and expanding the area’s leisure and hospitality
payrolls are eateries Salaritas, Bensi,
and Maggie Moo’s.
In leisure and hospitality,
which increased payrolls by 900 over the period, the Heldrich Hotel and Conference Center
opened in March in New Brunswick with 300 employees and a Gold’s Gym opened
(May, +75 jobs) in Old Bridge. Old
Man Rafferty's opened an eating and drinking establishment at the end of August
in Asbury Park. About
60 people were hired.
The outlook for the Edison Labor Area remains positive in
the immediate future due to its well-balanced industry composition, population
growth and state-leading, albeit slowing, housing market. Due to its sheer size, the area’s employment
growth should continue to remain in line with expansion by the state.
Despite
leisure and hospitality and
retail trade’s high turnover in employment, these sectors should see a boost in
employment as the “outdoor lifestyle center” addition at Freehold Raceway Mall
opened in early November 2007. Tenants
in the new center include P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Borders Books, Ann Taylor,
Chico’s, Coldwater
Creek, White House Black Market, Territory Ahead and Jared the Galleria of
Jewelry. The Cheesecake Factory opened
in the mall’s expansion in October, adding about 100 jobs. Additionally, the lifestyle center, The
Shoppes at North Brunswick, is forecast to
open in the fall of 2007. It will have
over 30 upscale retailers and five eating places. Also, Houlihan’s
Route 35 location in Eatontown opened in October 2007.
There was an October
groundbreaking for a new development project - the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets
in Tinton Falls.
The 435,000-sq. ft. outlet center will offer an upscale outlet shopping
experience. The center will be a
single-level, village-style project and will be Chelsea Property Group’s third Premium Outlet
Center in New
Jersey, joining Liberty Village Premium Outlets in Flemington (Hunterdon County)
and Jackson Premium Outlets (Ocean
County). It will feature 120 stores and is scheduled
to open fall of 2008 with approximately 800 to 1,000 jobs being created and is
projected to generate an estimated $170 million in retail sales.
In the financial activities’
sector, Foxtons Realtors, the West Long Branch-based
discount broker which promoted itself as "the home of the 2 percent real
estate commission," stated in late September that it will lay off 350 of
its 380 remaining employees and planned to file for bankruptcy protection,
mainly due to the weak housing market.
In a growing trend over the
last 20 years, hospitals have been moving towards offering services that go
beyond the traditional use of hospitals.
Of the 80 full-service hospitals in the state, more than a dozen have
their own fitness or wellness centers.
Health and education employment in the area should benefit from this
trend. In October, CentraState Healthcare System
opened a $48 million, 171,000-sq. ft. ambulatory campus in Freehold.
Additionally, since last
year, Jersey Shore
University Medical
Center (Neptune)
has been working on a $300 million project which is estimated to be completed
in 2009. It includes a 360,000-sq. ft.
addition, 82,000-sq. ft. renovation and a 975-car parking garage.
Aiding construction in the
near-term and health and education on the horizon is the start of a world-class
stem cell research facility. The $150
million, 18-story tower is to be built in downtown New
Brunswick next to Robert Wood Johnson
University Hospital,
near Rutgers University, several other schools and
hospitals and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. The building is to have facilities for
research, clinical study and outpatient treatment and is expected to be
completed in spring 2011.
In another development aiding
construction employment initially and ultimately transportation and
warehousing, the Portfield’s Initiative is a project
of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and the New Jersey Economic
Development Authority. It is designed to
help private developers, communities and others transform underutilized and brownfield sites into productive properties to support
emerging market opportunities for ocean and air freight-related warehousing and
distribution operations.
One of the major Portfield’s Initiative projects currently under
construction is the iPort12 International
Trade & Logistic Center.
The project, which is on a former brownfield
site, is a two building $100 million project which is situated on 113 acres in Carteret off Interchange 12 on the New Jersey
Turnpike. This project hopes to attract
tenants requiring a minimum space of 100,000-sq. ft. and up. Currently, there are no tenants but food and
beverage businesses have expressed interest.
Highway upgrades are to be done at Interchange 13 to expand toll booths
from seven to 14. Other sites under
consideration for development: Port 440 and Chevron in Perth
Amboy; Nuodex in Woodbridge;
Middlesex Logistics
Center in Edison and Port Reading
Business Park
in Carteret.
The
biggest news for the area is the slated closing of Fort Monmouth. Congress authorized the Pentagon to
begin shutting down Fort Monmouth while expanding Picatinny
Arsenal which is situated on a 6,500-acre military installation located in Morris County
and merging McGuire Air Force Base, Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station and
Fort Dix into a megabase. Fort Monmouth — which employs more than
5,000, supports an estimated 22,000 more jobs and generates about $3.3 billion
for the state's economy — is to be closed as a result of the 2005 Base
Realignment and Closure round. The bulk
of its functions are to be transferred to Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground by 2011.
One specific development that
indicates the area is now experiencing the sinking real estate market felt
nationwide: Belmar (Monmouth
County) was planning its
most ambitious proposal - a $500 million project to essentially raze and
rebuild most of its downtown. Recently
though, this initiative has run into difficulty, as the municipality terminated
the contract of its master developer due to the developer’s decision to back
out of a key agreement on the first phase of the redevelopment project.
The developer and the owners
of the respective site could not reach a deal to develop a 3-story complex of
condominiums and townhouses along with 9,500-sq. ft. of retail space. Besides the weakening housing market, other
factors affecting Belmar’s efforts were the nation’s “credit crunch” and the
state courts’ tighter definition of “blight” to prevent municipalities from
abusing eminent domain in order to force unwilling residents and business
owners from their properties, according to local officials.
The Edison Area’s unemployment
rate can be expected to remain below that of the state in the coming year. In 2007, the nine-month average unemployment
rate for the labor area was 4.0 percent and improved from its 2006 level
(4.5%). In comparison, New Jersey’s
average nine-month rate improved by moving from 4.9 to 4.4 percent, from 2006
to 2007.

Trenton-Ewing
Labor Area
Review
of 2007 and Outlook for 2008
Mercer County
By JoAnne Caramelo, Bureau of Labor Market
Information
In 2007, total nonfarm employment in the
Trenton-Ewing Labor Area advanced for the eleventh consecutive year as local
employers added 4,500 jobs to their payrolls, based on average employment for
the first nine-months of the year (January to September). The 1.9 percent rate of growth brought
employment in the labor area to a record high of 246,200 and was nearly four
times the rate of growth realized statewide (0.5%) in 2007. Since 1996, the start of the Trenton-Ewing
Labor Area’s eleven-year growth cycle, area jobholding has increased by 53,100
or 27.5 percent.
With a payroll increase of 900, professional and business services
was the private sector job growth leader over the first nine months of
2007. Gains attributable to hiring in the
professional, scientific and technical services component served as the catalyst to this sector’s growth. Area employment advanced by 6.1 percent, a rate more than twice
that of the state (2.6%). Central New Jersey, which has often been referred to as
the nation’s medicine chest, has a large concentration of pharmaceutical
companies, and companies that provide them with various research and
development services have added to payrolls. Other professional and business
services firms that realized job growth were those that provide specialized
computer services, and architectural and engineering firms. The labor area’s strong corporate climate
makes it a prime market for office space and some of the newly-constructed
office space throughout the labor area has been absorbed by growing companies
like the ones mentioned above moving into larger spaces.
Growth by clean technology companies has also benefited payrolls
in professional and business services.
Research in clean technology, or alternative energy sources, recycling
practices, and energy efficiency, is a growing field, and firms in the
Trenton-Ewing Labor Area are making important contributions in this area. EPV Solar (Lawrence) is developing more
efficient and affordable solar technology.
Ocean Power Technologies (Pennington), a renewable energy company, has
contracts with the U.S. Navy and the Spanish government for its wave power
technology services. BlackLight Power (East Windsor) invented hydrogen-based alternative energy
and light sources. According
to a study from CleanTech Network,
New Jersey ranks 5th in the U.S.
in encouraging the growth of clean technology startup companies. Nationally, in the second quarter of 2007,
total venture capital investments in clean technology increased 46 percent from
the prior quarter according to The MoneyTree Report
by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association based on
data from Thompson Financial.
Leisure and hospitality payrolls added 800 jobs since last
year. Chain restaurants opened in or
near the area’s many shopping centers.
However, the labor area’s diners have more new options besides national
chains like PF Chang’s China Bistro in West Windsor and Camille’s Café in Lawrence. Several independent restaurants like 130 South
in Hamilton and
Barone’s Tuscany Grill in Pennington opened
throughout the area. Also, several
full-service eateries specializing in various ethnic foods moved into long
vacant storefronts in downtown Trenton.
Between 2006 and 2007 jobholding in trade, transportation, and
utilities increased by 400. Positive
developments in transportation and warehousing include McMaster Carr’s
relocation of their Dayton (Middlesex County)
distribution center to Washington Towndhip at the end
of 2006. Although Comair, a subsidiary
of Delta Airlines, stopped service from the Trenton-Ewing Airport,
payrolls were unaffected as Big Sky Airlines, another Delta subsidiary, took
over their flight routes. Retail
openings throughout the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area also contributed to the
sector’s job gain. They include an Old
Navy and Walgreen’s in Hamilton, Filene’s
Basement in Lawrence, Fresh Fig natural foods
market in Pennington, and Foot Locker in Trenton.
Although retailers like Rockaway Bedding, Rag Shop and Comp USA closed all
locations statewide due to bankruptcy or restructuring, these merchants had a
small area presence so there was minimal effect on payrolls.
Employment in educational and health services increased by 300
during the 2006-2007 period. In health care and social assistance, the
hiring of workers to staff Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton’s
new tower expansion contributed to job creation. In educational services, Princeton University’s
campus is undergoing a transformation. Whitman College,
a new residential college, opened for the fall 2007 semester. Named for eBay.com CEO and Princeton alumnae
Meg Whitman, who made a significant financial contribution to the project, Whitman College is the university’s 6th
residential college. The 10 buildings
include dormitories, a dining hall, drama theater, library, and classroom
space. This new residential college will
help the university meet its goal of expanding the student body from 4,700 to
5,200 by the fall 2012 semester. An $8.4
million soccer stadium and new science library are due to open in 2008. Outdated dormitories from the 1960s were
razed in the summer of 2007 and are being replaced with modern facilities
projected to be completed for the fall 2009 semester. The university recently received planning
board approval for the construction of a new chemistry building and a 300-foot
pedestrian bridge over Washington
Road. In
2006, the university celebrated its 250th anniversary in Princeton.
In financial activities, the opening of several bank branches
helped payrolls in the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area add 100 jobs. The Bank of Princeton and First Choice Bank,
two of 19 new banks to open in New
Jersey within the last two years, opened in the labor
area in 2007. Many of these banks have
been formed by members of the business community who perceive a need for more
personalized service to small businesses and individuals that they feel is not
met by large national banking institutions.
The state’s high per capita personal income makes it a desirable market
for banks, and the number of bank choices benefits consumers as institutions
compete with each other to offer the best terms to customers. This is evident in the Trenton-Ewing Labor
Area, where according to 2006 FDIC figures, there were 25 institutions
operating within the market, and Mercer
County was New Jersey’s 9th largest market
by total deposits. In just five years
since 2001, Mercer’s total deposits grew by 53 percent.
After reaching a record high in 2006, Trenton-Ewing Labor Area’s
construction employment was down 100 jobs or 1.6 percent over the first nine
months of 2007. Analysis of Mercer County’s
August-to-date residential building permits (latest data available) reveals a
47.7 percent decline from 2006 to 2007, which is sharper than the statewide
decline (29.5%) and is an indicator that construction job cuts could be due to
a slowdown in the housing market.
However, construction on large commercial projects like the PrincetonSouth Corporate Center being built in Ewing and
warehouse development in Washington Township have helped make the percent of
decline in area construction jobs relatively small.
Jobholding in the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area should continue to
expand near its current rate through the reminder of 2007 and into 2008, with
professional and business services continuing to be an important job generator
for the area. Payrolls in the professional, scientific and
technical services component should continue to benefit from the region’s
significance in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields. Total Learning Concepts, which offers sales
training for those industries, recently announced plans to relocate jobs from Massachusetts to the
labor area. In the long term, several
office parks catering to biotechnology companies are under development. Site work is underway at SciPark,
a four-building campus in East
Windsor Township,
and construction is due to begin in 2008.
The Genesis Biotechnology Campus, a 410,000-sq-ft office development
with capacity for 500 to 700 workers is planned for Hamilton Township. Humigen, a company
specializing in genetic immunology and is a spin-off of Medical Diagnostic
Laboratories, is expected to occupy 40,000-sq-ft by the first quarter of
2009.
The concentration of technology-oriented companies, availability
of highly-skilled labor, location of research institutions like Princeton
University, and the major advances in sciences and technology that have
historically and continue to be made by area firms have led to a marketing initiative
aimed at promoting job growth. Dubbed
Einstein’s Alley, this initiative was spearheaded by Congressman Rush Holt as a
strategy to promote economic growth of high-tech industries in Central Jersey.
His vision was for the area to have recognition along the lines of California’s Silicone
Valley. The name Einstein’s Alley capitalizes on the
significance of the area with regard to scientific discovery and innovation
both past and present. Recently, a new
privately funded nonprofit corporation adopted the name Einstein’s Alley and
has made attracting, building, and retaining technology-based businesses in Central New Jersey their mission. Although it has no set geographic boundaries,
the Einstein’s Alley Corridor is roughly the area from Edison in Middlesex County
to Trenton and from New Jersey’s eastern to western
borders. The name is beginning to catch
on. In the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area, Hamilton and East Windsor have already designated
themselves as part of Einstein’s Alley, and Trenton,
Lawrence, and Ewing
plan to follow suit.
In information, payrolls should benefit from Computer Associates
International’s move to Ewing. The company
plans to consolidate operations from Pennsylvania
and New Jersey and bring 400 jobs to the
newly-constructed PrincetonSouth Corporate
Center this fall.
In financial activities, more
bank openings are planned.
Cranford-based Synergy Bank is opening a location in East
Windsor. The newly-formed
Bank of Princeton recently received approval from the New Jersey Department of
Banking and Insurance to open two additional locations. It is unclear if recent bank mergers will
affect area payrolls. Some
administrative jobs may be lost as a result of the merger of Yardville National
Bank and PNC Bank, although no branch closings are planned. Commerce Bank is
being acquired by TD Bank Financial, a Canadian banking group, which does not
have a presence in the Trenton-Ewing Labor Area. The recent sale of Merrill Lynch’s property
in Plainsboro (Middlesex County) should have a positive effect on payrolls in
the labor area as the company plans to relocate some workers to its Hopewell site.
Employment in trade, transportation and utilities should also see
positive growth in 2007. In retail
trade, The Shoppes at Hamilton,
a 50-tenant lifestyle center, is under development along Route 130 and due to
open at the end of 2008. New retail
space is also one component of the redevelopment plans for sites in downtown Trenton; including a major redevelopment of Trenton’s train station,
the recently renovated Broad Street Bank building, and a site along Warren Street
dating from the 1800s which was originally occupied by a tavern. In transportation and warehousing, additional
distribution centers are under development in Washington Township.
Positive developments in leisure and hospitality include the
opening of hotels, restaurants and fitness centers. A Hilton Garden Inn opened in October in Hamilton, and will soon
be followed by the opening of an Outback Steakhouse and TGI Friday’s. Several restaurants are also due to open at
the Washington Town
Center, and the newly-constructed
Windsor Crossing shopping center in East Windsor. A Work-Out World gym is also under
construction in Washington, and a Gold’s Gym is planned for East Windsor.
In the short term, the large decline in Mercer County’s
residential building permits could be indicative of slow job growth in
construction. However, payrolls could be
positively impacted in the long run if commercial and residential projects like
additional corporate, retail, and restaurant space at PrincetonSouth
Corporate Center, Capital Health System’s new hospital in Hopewell, a major
expansion of Quakerbridge Mall, loft and condominium
projects proposed for vacant industrial sites in Trenton, and proposed transit
villages in Trenton, West Windsor, and Hamilton, move forward.
