The Unemployed Person has Many Faces

1. Frictional Lack of information makes it
   difficult to efficiently connect employers and
   jobseekers
2. Seasonal Different calendar periods are
   normally slower or more robust than average
3. Structural Mismatch between skills in demand
   and workforce skills or mismatch between
   location of the job vs. location of unemployed
4. Cyclical or demand deficient Insufficient
   economic activity causes even appropriately
   skilled workers to have trouble finding suitable
   employment

This is the topic companies in Texas are talking
about. Knowledge transfer is about getting people
in an organization who know how things really get
done and getting them together to simply talk
about that with younger workers. It sounds
simple, but its hard to do in most
organizations. Youre paid to complete a task,
not to communicate habits to co-workers. Wendy
Boswell, management professor and director of the
Center for Human Resource Management at Texas AM
Universityinterviewed Dec. 8, 2009

Trends in U.S. Bachelors Degrees Awarded

Key Challenges for Texas employers

• Knowledge Transfer getting experienced workers
  to teach others how to get things done
• Finding Qualified Workers to replace the
  exiting Boomers AND to fill new kinds of jobs
• Inclusiveness more women, more Hispanics, more
  Asians, more young people at work

• Heavy Workers, Heavy Expense more obesity
  diabetes more costs to employers
• Degrees Demanded more employers making college
  degree the new minimum
• Getting the Right Degrees Employers complaining
  loudly Texas is not producing enough STEM
  graduates

36
I dont know if were going to take existing
jobs and expand their duties or if well create
new jobs, but its going to change our workforce.
In the past, if you had a high school education
and could learn some technical skills, that was
enough to work for us. But now we want an
Associates degree or equivalent military
experience and that will be the minimum hiring
requirement starting this year.Larry Fuller,

Years ago we hired people from the neck down. We
wanted strong backs. Now we hire people from the
neck up. Only a few years ago we hired people and
gave them a shovel and a pipe wrench and told
them these were the tools that would make them
successful. Now we hire people and give them a
volt meter and a computer and tell them these are
the tools that will make them successful. Its a
different industry now.Greg Yoxsimer, human
resources partner,Chevron Oil Gas, Midland,
TexasSept. 23, 2009

A lot of business hiring is based on business
peoples confidence. For business people, their
biggest fear is shutting down. Ive had to close
stores. Ive had to lay people off. Thats
painful. That hurts. And that is a motivating
factor for business people.John Mackey,
founder CEO of Whole Foods Marketfrom Sept. 9,
2011, interview for new TWC publication
51

6. Outsource non-core business functions

8. Take advantage of H1B and L1 visas for foreign workers
9. Add a full-time domestic employee (1 FTE)
