TAG Industrial Watch: August 24, 2024
Over the last year, TAG Industrial has been skeptical of the monthly jobs reports, believing that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was overestimating the number of jobs created. This week, the BLS indeed confirmed that from Q2 2023 to Q1 2024, they overestimated job creation by 818,000, representing 30% of the initially reported amount and the largest error since the Great Recession days of 2009. As it relates to the industrial real estate market, there was at least some good news. Although transportation and warehousing jobs were revised higher by 56,400, manufacturing shed about -115,000 jobs during that time. While this opens the door for deeper rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, it also exposes the potential weakness in the economy. Industrial owner-users and investors waiting for lower rates should consider acting now to take advantage of potential rate cut activity, and before more investors become concerned of a recession.
