Third Of Metro Areas Lost Construction Jobs in Past Year; Fate of Infrastructure Bill Unclear Nearly one-third of U.S. metro areas lost construction jobs between August 2020 and August 2021, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of government employment data released today. Association officials noted that the job losses are occurring as the fate of a bipartisan infrastructure bill that would boost demand for construction remains uncertain in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“While construction activity has rebounded from pandemic lows in many metros, the recovery is fragile,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Extreme production and delivery delays, along with continuing high materials costs, may lead to project cancellations and postponements that cut into job gains.” Construction employment declined from a year earlier in 65 metros and held steady in 37. New York City lost the most

jobs (-8,600 jobs or -6 percent), followed by Nassau County-Suffolk County, N.Y. (-5,100 jobs, -6 percent); Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla. (-3,200 jobs, -6 percent); Calvert-Charles-Prince George’s, Md. (-2,400 jobs, -7 percent) and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas (-2,300 jobs, -1 percent). The largest percentage declines were in Evansville, Ind.-Ky. (-14 percent,

Even with its recent meteoric rise — it’s up about 900% in the past month — each Shiba coin costs just a tiny fraction of one cent. If you bought $1,000 worth of Shiba in late September, your 20 million coins would now be worth around $9,000.

The Great Hiring Bounceback: Employers Report Strongest Hiring Outlooks Since Before Pandemic Employers in all 43 countries report stronger hiring intentions year-over-year with 14 reporting Outlooks at a ten-year high according to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey (NYSE: MAN) of nearly 45,000 employers. Finding skilled talent remains a top challenge for employers globally – 69% report difficulty filling vacancies – a 15-year high for the second consecutive quarter. To overcome this 67% are offering greater flexibility; both in work schedules and where work gets done while 41% are investing in training, skills development and mentoring. Markets bounce back: The strongest year-on-year improvements are reported in the Netherlands (+41%), India (+40%) and the UK (+39%). Record hiring intentions reported in many countries: employers in 15 coun-

tries report their highest hiring outlook since the survey began; Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK and U.S. Global talent shortage shows no sign of easing: 69% of employers globally cannot find the skills that they need, with employers in India (89%), Romania (84%), and Singapore (84%) reporting the greatest difficulty. Technical skills and career coaching are a key focus for HR leaders: A quarter of employers plan to invest in accelerated upskilling (12 weeks or less) for employees and 21% plan to launch career coaching programs in the next six months. Barriers to upskilling: As more employers plan to upskill workers, money (22%), time (18%) and access to the right

partners (13%) are cited as the biggest barriers businesses face. “This recovery is unlike any we have seen before with hiring intent picking up much faster than after the previous economic downturn,” said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO. “As vaccine rollouts gain momentum and lockdown restrictions ease in many markets, we’re seeing sharp increases in hiring optimism reported by employers. At the same time, some workers are hesitant to re-engage with employers as factors including health concerns and childcare challenges continue. Continued talent shortages mean many businesses are prioritizing retaining and training workers with the skills they need to succeed as the economic recovery continues.” Staff report

Report: Bidding Wars at Lowest Level Since 2020 In August, 58.8% of home offers written by Redfin agents faced competition—a record low for 2021, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. That’s down from a revised rate of 62.1% in July and a peak of 74.3% in April. It’s also slightly lower than the August 2020 bidding-war rate of 59.4%. While sellers continue to have the upper hand, buying a home has become slightly easier this summer as the country’s acute shortage of homes for sale is no longer intensifying and the market has undergone its typical seasonal slowdown. Home-price growth is stabilizing following months of record gains, and measures of competition aside from the bidding-war rate are also losing steam. For example, 50% of homes sold above their list prices during the four weeks ending Sept. 5, down from a peak of 55% in July. Of the homes that went under contract during that period, 47% had an accepted offer within the first two weeks on the market, down 9 percentage points from the 2021 peak set in March. “Sellers are still pricing their homes very high, but a lot of buyers have had enough and are no longer willing to pay the huge premiums they were six months ago. Instead of 25 to 30 offers on turnkey homes, we’re now seeing five to seven,” said Nicole Dege, a Redfin real estate agent in Orlando, FL, where the bidding-war rate dropped to 57.5% in August from 78.9% in July. “Buyers are getting a bit more selective. I have one seller who recently put his four-bedroom single-family pool house on the market, but the roof was shot. He had to lower his asking price to $423,000 from $427,000 and agree to spend around $7,000 to replace the roof in order to attract bidders. Six months ago, he would have easily been able to sell that home asis without dropping the price.” Raleigh, NC had the highest bidding-war rate of the 48 U.S. metropolitan areas in this analysis, with 86.7% of offers written by Redfin agents facing competition in August. Next came San Francis-

co/San Jose, at 70.7%, and Tucson, AZ, at 70.5%. Cincinnati and Salt Lake City rounded out the top five, with bidding-war rates of 70.4% and 68.1%, respectively. “Sellers remain in control, but the next month or two will be very telling,” said Ra-

leigh Redfin agent Stacey Delgado. “The market has just started to cool down over the last couple of weeks, which isn’t surprising because kids are heading back to school. Still, there are parts of the city that remain fiercely competitive, like the

Research Triangle, which is Raleigh’s tech hub and has highly-rated schools. Out-ofstate buyers who are flush with cash and can work remotely continue to flock there and bid up home prices.” Staff report

Remote Work Will Fuel Housing Demand for Years

As employers make — or delay — plans to reopen workplaces this fall, new Zillow research1 finds that nearly 40% of U.S. workers (39%) still don’t know if or how often they’ll be working in person. More than one-third of those workers (35%) say that uncertainty is impacting their ability to make decisions about their lives, such as the decision to move. Remote work is already fueling the Great Reshuffling, as people who no longer have to be at their workplace five days a week prioritize affordability and space over a short commute. This data suggests there’s far more reshuffling to come as employers and employees decide what their future will look like. The lasting shift to remote work is being driven by employee preferences. After many workers spent a year and a half working from home, an overwhelming number of them want to keep that flexibility once the pandemic has ended. Zillow’s survey finds 84% of U.S. workers want to work remotely at least a few days a month, and 44% want to work from home all the time. Half of millennial and Gen Z workers who don’t yet know their employer’s post-pandemic plans say they’re at least somewhat likely to consider getting a new job if they end up working in person more often than they would like (50%). Large numbers of workers report that various aspects of working from home are now very or extremely important to them, such as control over their life and their time (69%), and the freedom to live where they want (64%). “Workers are clear in their desire for more flexibility,” says Meghan Reibstein, vice president of organizational operations at Zillow. “It’s no surprise employees are willing to change jobs to get to this more sustainable way of working, and employers risk losing people if they ignore employees’ preferences. If given the freedom to move, employees can work where they’re happiest and most productive, which is a win for them, their organizations and their communities.” Remote work has the potential to bring the most significant expansion of economic opportunity and housing affordability witnessed in a generation or more. The ability to work and live anywhere is already opening up housing opportunities all over the country, widely benefiting first-time buyers and renters of color. When given that flexibility, remote or hybrid workers are more likely to say they would move — 23%, compared to 13% of in-person workers2 who say the same.3 Those moves are already happening. In the most expensive metros, buyers are prioritizing affordability over commute times, with areas 60‒90 minutes outside the city center experiencing the fastest home value growth. This trend is echoed by moving data that shows pandemic-era movers are seeking larger, more affordable homes. Zillow’s own internal data offers a small case study in how remote work can spur people to move. After the company announced a permanent flexible workplace policy in October 2020, the monthly relocation rate jumped more than 45%, compared to typical relocation rates in 2018 and 2019. “Lingering uncertainty over permanent flexible work policies suggests that we’re closer to the beginning of the Great Reshuffling than the end,” says

Chris Glynn, Zillow senior managing economist. “As more people learn how often they’ll have to be at their workplace or make a job change to gain that flexibility, we expect to see more people move. Remote work will be a significant driver of housing demand for years to come, along with demographic trends.” Staff report

BBB study finds job scams increased during pandemic Employment scams are on the rise according to a new study from the Better Business Bureau. BBB warns job seekers to verify employment offers to avoid illegal jobs, identity theft, and fake checks. The in-depth investigative study, Job Scams, details the many forms of employment fraud that millions are exposed to annually. BBB estimates that some 14 million people are victims of job scams each year, with more than $2 billion in direct losses. Job scams were the riskiest of all scams tracked by BBB in 2018 and 2019, and the situation got worse in 2020 as the pandemic shuttered businesses and impacted all aspects of society, according to the 2020 BBB Employment Scams Report. Government agencies that track scams and fraud found similar increases. Losses reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) about employment scams were up 27% between 2018 and 2020, while complaints to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) nearly doubled in 2020. BBB research found that job scams commonly victimized people ages 25-34, with women filing 67% of the complaints. The median financial loss reported by these victims was $1,000; in addition, they often reported loss of their time, as 32% were never paid for the work they did for an “employer” that turned out to be fraudulent. Identity theft is a common outcome of job scams, as scammers will often steal job seekers’ personal information to open bank accounts to further their fraud. BBB found 34% of victims provided their driver’s license information and 25% provided their Social Security or Social Insurance number. Fake checks frequently accompany job scams, and the use of them continue to grow. The BBB Employment Scams study finds that 36% of job scam complaints to BBB involved a fake check, with the number of fake check complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) increasing by 65% between 2015 and 2020. In the two years since BBB issued an investigative study on fake check fraud, the losses absorbed by banks themselves related to fake checks went up 40% costing them $1.3 billion. Common fraudulent job offers involving fake checks include mystery shopping or secret shopper jobs, car wrap jobs, nanny or caregiver jobs, and small business jobs such as photography or painting houses.

New Homebuyers Mortgages Rising 67% Faster Than Rents The national median monthly mortgage payment for homebuyers rose 67% faster than rents during the same period, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. This is despite mortgage interest rates falling back to near-record lows. This is the seventh con-

secutive month that growth in median mortgage payments for new homebuyers have outpaced that of rents. However, in August, growth in rents were speeding up while growth in mortgage payments were slowing. Mortgage payments for new homebuyers outpaced rent price increases in 25 of the 50 largest metro areas in the US during August. Nationwide, the average monthly rent of $1,836 is still larger than the $1,494 median monthly mortgage payment for new homebuyers. “Record high home price growth has priced many renters out of buying, leaving many facing higher rents this summer as more households look to move thanks to the rise of remote and flexible work arrangements,” said Redfin Lead Economist Taylor Marr. “The end of pandemic eviction moratoriums and mortgage forbearance may also cause landlords to raise rents to cover the risk of future tenant protections or make up for lost rental income.” “Austin has always been a hot real estate market, but the past six months have been wild,” said Redfin Austin market manager Jennifer Hoffer. “We’ve been working with several landlords who want to sell their properties to cash in on high home prices. But renters right now really don’t want to move, so they’re staying put with long-term leases because they have nowhere to go. I think we will see a spike in rents in the next few months as leases come to an end.” Where Rents Rose and Fell the Most Most of the metro areas with the biggest increases in rent were warm, affordable destinations in Florida, California and Arizona that have benefitted from a surge in migration thanks to a newly mobile workforce. Rents were up the most from a year earlier in Tampa, FL (29.2%), followed by West Palm Beach, FL, Miami, FL and Fort Lauderdale, FL (all at 28.9%). Top 10 Metro Areas With Fastest-Rising Rents Tampa, FL (29.2%) West Palm Beach, FL (28.9%) Miami, FL (28.9%) Fort Lauderdale, FL (28.9%) Jacksonville, FL (26.8%) Riverside, CA (23.1%) Phoenix, AZ (21.9%) Las Vegas, NV (21.3%) New York, NY (21.3%) Newark, NJ (21.3%) However, rents are not increasing everywhere. A few metro areas saw decreases, including expensive areas where people are moving away like the Bay Area. Rents were down in Pittsburgh (-5%), followed by San Jose, CA (-3%) and St. Louis, MO (-1%). Metro Areas With Falling Rents Pittsburgh, PA (-5.1%) San Jose, CA (-2.9%) St. Louis, MO (-0.5%) These price drops are the rare exception to nearly across-the-board increases in housing costs for both rentals and homebuying and are not likely to last as the economy recovers from the pandemic. For those who need to move and are looking for a place to rent, now may be a good time to check out some traditionally more expensive coastal metro areas such as the Bay Area, Boston, and Washington, D.C., where rental costs are rising slower than the 8.5% national average.

Brilliance Creates a Company; Structure Runs It Q: My husband has a brilliant mind, and he created a startup tech company. It has been growing and his employees realize it will be successful. In the beginning they felt lucky to have their jobs. Now they are all asking my husband for raises. It is overwhelming him and it’s time-consuming for him to have to speak to each individual. How should he handle this? A: A brilliant mind can create amazing products and services, but that brilliance must be supported by procedures and policies. Your husband’s employees now see his company will be successful and they likely feel their performance is responsible for the company’s growth; hence, they have discussed their salaries amongst themselves and think they deserve increases. It sounds like your husband didn’t establish the basic policies every company needs because he was focused on the product itself. Now he must deal with running the company as well as creating product. He could start by sending an appreciative memo sincerely thanking employees for their efforts and commitment to help make the company a success, along with a notice of a company-sponsored lunch celebration. Studies have repeatedly shown employees value recognition, appreciation and surprise treats over money. A Glassdoor study revealed 80% of employees work harder when their boss shows appreciation for their work. More than 50% said they would stay longer at a company if they felt their boss appreciated them. Because his employees have already approached him for raises, it’s possible

A Glassdoor study revealed 80% of employees work harder when their boss shows appreciation for their work. More than 50% said they would stay longer at a company if they felt their boss appreciated them.

their salaries were lower because it was a startup. But he can’t offer raises through spontaneous conversations with individual employees. Before your husband offers increases of any kind, he needs to establish a performance review and raise policy. Creating an employee or company handbook should not be taken lightly. In today’s legalistic workplace, the safest path is to hire a lawyer experienced in creating company policies and establishing benefits, regardless of the number of employees. Once a policy is developed and distributed to all, he can maintain a friendly and casual environment by sharing company news and developments to keep employees engaged in the goals

and the outcomes. Issuing a formal handbook can initially take away from that comfortable work environment, so your husband might want to hire a human resources employee to maintain the atmosphere he wants. This HR employee can plan group events from bringing in doughnuts in the morning to pizza for lunch to keeping snack jars filled with candy in a coffee room. This would bring the “human” back into the title of human resources. As his company grows and he becomes more involved in creating product, he may become more removed from the employees. The key is to carefully communicate his values in creating and maintaining the environment to

all employees. Just as his employees felt comfortable approaching him for raises, keeping an open-door policy will encourage employees to openly report anyone who threatens that positive and accepting atmosphere. It only takes one difficult person to disrupt the harmony among all. For example, a sales team grew large enough to need a few secretaries to assist their group. One secretary turned out to be a dud. She was difficult to work with, as she repeatedly made mistakes or claimed to not understand the instructions. Instead of taking the responsibility to reprimand or report her to HR, the sales reps simply stopped giving her assignments. This resulted in her not having any work, but she still collected her salary. Meanwhile, the other secretaries had more than their share of work. It didn’t occur to the sales reps that this created an unfair and irritating situation for the high-performing secretaries. Soon they began to look for other jobs. No one wants to watch a co-worker sit and do nothing. So now when your husband tells you about his employees, you will be armed with suggestions to keep his company on track. You may even suggest working for him as that HR person who maintains the positive environment so the company can retain the employees who helped it grow.

Shiba Inu: Dogecoin Top “Dog” in Cryptocurrency BY MATT OTT AP BUSINESS WRITER SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Cryptocurrency has officially gone to the dogs. The recent trading frenzy over a digital token called Shiba Inu — commonly billed as a “meme” or joke coin — has vaulted the canine-themed cryptocurrency into the top ten most valuable digital assets by market value, hitting $40 billion and surpassing its cousin and apparent inspiration, Dogecoin. Shiba was up another 10% at midday on Monday and has doubled in value in the past week. Most of that gain came in a flurry of trading last Wednesday, when it gained a whopping 66%. Even with its recent meteoric rise — it’s up about 900% in the past month — each Shiba coin costs just a tiny fraction of one cent. If you bought $1,000 worth of Shiba in late September, your 20 million coins would now be worth around $9,000. Like most cryptocurrencies, Shiba is not commonly used for commercial transactions and is considered by most experts and

investors to be a high-risk, speculative bet due to the broader volatility of the crypto market. Experts warn that investors need to be cautious about putting money into something with anonymous leadership that appears to have little functional use. Lee Reiners, an outspoken crypto skeptic, teaches fintech and cryptocurrency courses at Duke University School of Law. Reiners said he’s not surprised by Shiba’s recent spike. “This is what happens when you have massive speculation in assets with no intrinsic value,” Reiners said. Investors might be thinking this story sounds familiar. Bitcoin has doubled in value twice this year — with a rapid plunge in between — and now sells for more than $60,000 per coin. Among stocks, GameStop had a surge that rivals Shiba’s, rocketing from about $17 per share in early January to $483 later that month. Lately, it’s consistently traded around $180. While Shiba is the current white-hot cryptocurrency, you can’t trade it through

JOBS FROM PAGE 1 -1,400 jobs); Tuscaloosa, Ala. (-12 percent, -800 jobs); Watertown-Fort Drum, N.Y. (-11 percent, -200 jobs); Morristown, Tenn. (-10 percent, -200 jobs); Victoria, Texas (-9 percent, -300 jobs) and Gadsden, Ala. (-9 percent, -100 jobs). Construction employment increased in 256 out of 358 metro areas over the last 12 months. San Diego-Carlsbad, Calif. added the most construction jobs (8,900 jobs, 11 percent; followed by Sacramento-Roseville--Arden-Ar-

more traditional brokers — yet. A petition with more than 450,000 signatures on Change.org is pushing for the mobile trading app Robinhood to start allowing Shiba trades. Robinhood currently allows trading of Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. Its CEO Vladimir Tenev told investors last week that the company would “carefully evaluate whether we can add new coins in a way that’s safe for customers and in line with regulatory requirements.” Stronger regulation of the crypto markets seems inevitable, but it’s unclear when it might happen. The chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, said in August that the world of crypto doesn’t have enough investor protection and compared it to “the Wild West.” Whether that lack of regulation is driving the recent spikes in Shiba and other digital assets is not clear. What seems apparent though, is that retail investors — the little guys — are leading the way. Kyle Waters, a research analyst at the

cade, Calif. (8,600 jobs, 12 percent); Pittsburgh, Pa. (7,200 jobs, 12 percent); Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass. (6,300 jobs, 9 percent) and St. Louis, Mo. (6,300 jobs, 9 percent). Lawrence-Methuen Town-Salem, Mass. had the highest percentage increase (26 percent, 900 jobs); followed by Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas (23 percent, 3,600 jobs); and Bloomington, Ill. (17 percent, 500 jobs). Association officials urged members of both parties in the House to vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill, noting its new funding was needed to modernize the na-

blockchain data and analytics firm Coin Metrics, said the median trade size of Shiba on that busy Wednesday was $115. That’s “highly suggestive” that the typical Shiba trader on Coinbase is a small retail trader, Water said. Shiba’s rise is similar to Dogecoin’s ascent in the spring, when it caught fire and rose jumped from around 5 cents to 57 cents between April 7 and May 7. Like many other crypto currencies, Shiba is shrouded in mystery. According to its white paper — or “Woof Paper,” in this case — the token was started in 2020 by an anonymous person or group named “Ryoshi.” The paper, which describes how Shiba and its progeny works, is also peppered with soaring-but-vague platitudes about community, freedom, revolution and destroying traditional paradigms. A person with limited background knowledge of technology and blockchain vernacular would be hard pressed to decipher much of the technical wording in the white paper.

tion’s aging highways and transit systems. They noted the measure is slated for a vote this Thursday and cautioned that the industry was likely to lose more construction jobs without the measure. “This is the kind of infrastructure bill that Democrats and Republicans have been promising to pass for years now,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Failing to pass this measure will create new challenges for the economy.” Staff report

MoneyHunt The Art (and Science) of a Prototyping Business Q. “I invented a new product a couple of years ago and obtained a patent for my invention. A few months later, I set up a corporation with two other individuals to develop and market the product. “The first individual is an ‘angel’ investor with deep pockets while the second individual runs a local manufacturing company with the ability to produce the invention in small quantities. The three of us are equal directors and shareholders in the corporation. “At the recommendation of our corporation’s attorney, I assigned my patent to the corporation with the understanding I would get it back if the corporation was liquidated. “From the beginning, we had problems developing a prototype for the product. The manufacturer said the design set out in my patent wasn’t workable, and we have made several modifications to the product in order for it to work the way we think our customers will want. Using our investor’s money, we have made two modifications to my patent reflecting these changes. “After nearly two years of tinkering and delays, we still don’t have a working prototype of the product we can take to market. As the economy has improved, the manufacturer has obtained ‘paying jobs’ for his company, and our prototype has become a ‘back burner’ project for him. “More worrisome, the manufacturer has hinted that when the prototype is ready, he wants to get a written opinion from a mechanical engineer saying the design is sound. We have an insurance company willing to write a products liability policy for this product, but there’s an exclusion in the policy for any design flaws, which I understand is standard for this type of insurance. “We have approached a couple of mechanical engineers in our area and are being told the cost of obtaining such

an opinion would be in the $15,000 to $20,000 range. Our investor is understandably nervous about putting that much money into the company without some assurance that the prototype will be finished and we will start seeing some sales. For his part, the manufacturer has told us he is not willing to assume responsibility for any liability that is not covered by insurance and that he needs the engineer’s opinion before he will release the prototype to the corporation. “How do we break this logjam and move forward?” A. The problem here is that your manufacturing partner is “wearing two hats.” On the one hand, he is an officer and director of your corporation and accordingly has a fiduciary duty to further the corporation’s business and affairs. On the other hand, he and his manufacturing company are working under contract to your corporation to develop the prototype. I am assuming that this contract is a “handshake” and has not been formalized in writing. As the owner of the manufacturing company, your manufacturing partner has a fiduciary duty to that company as well. The two fiduciary duties are in conflict, which must be an uncomfortable position for him. The first thing you should do is call a meeting with all the shareholders to discuss the situation and try to work things out. If the manufacturer can persuade the investor that the prototype is finished and ready for market, the investor may be willing to advance the funds necessary to obtain the engineer’s opinion your manufacturer needs to protect himself. You may want to suggest that the investor should loan the corporation the money necessary to obtain the opinion.

That way if the corporation folds, he gets his money back before anyone else does. You and the manufacturer could “sweeten the deal” by offering to personally reimburse the investor for two-thirds of the cost of obtaining the opinion (your pro rata share of the debt) if the corporation is unable to repay the loan within, say, one year. If the manufacturer and the investor can’t see eye to eye, then you will have to consider hiring another contract manufacturer to develop the prototype -- one who does not have conflicting duties and has mechanical engineers on staff who can provide the necessary comfort that the prototype’s design is sound. It will probably cost you more money, but you may be able to offer the manufacturer some nonvoting equity in your corporation in exchange for a discounted price. If all else fails, you may need to dissolve your corporation, take back your patent (hopefully you kept it in your name with the corporation only as an “assignee”) and license it to a manufac-

turer with sufficiently deep pockets that they can assume all of the risks inherent in making, distributing, marketing and selling an industrial product. Dissolving a corporation usually requires a majority vote of the shareholders, so one of your two partners will have to agree to that. One last thing: since it appears your contract manufacturer partner has made changes to the original design, be sure he has assigned your company all of his intellectual property rights to those changes. If he hasn’t, you may be able to transfer only the original design to a new manufacturer, not the “new and improved” version.
