Market Overview
U.S. economic
performance
indicators
March 2017 U.S. labor market highlights
After two strong months, March disappoints
• January and February both exceeded the 200,000-job threshold, while March fell well below expectations with
only 98,000 net new jobs. A contraction in retail trade and slowdowns in all major sectors with the exception of
professional and business services (PBS) were the primary drivers of this, compounded by volatility due to
tightening and employment growth continuing to exceed the rate of labor-force expansion. Although March’s
monthly growth did not meet consensus figures, the broader trend remains positive and future months will dictate
whether this is an anomalous month or a broader shift in growth rates.
1
Unemployment drops, but slack is beginning to run out
• Counter to job growth, unemployment metrics improved once again, with the unemployment rate dropping by
another 20 basis points to a cyclical low of 4.5 percent. Total unemployment fell below the 9.0-percent threshold
for the first time since 2007 and now stands at 8.9 percent. With unemployment already low, the slowing rate of
labor-force expansion (0.5 percent annually compared to total non-farm job growth of 1.5 percent) will present a
challenge for employers seeking to increase headcounts, particularly as unemployment for bachelor’s-degree
holders remains steady at 2.5 percent.
2
Confidence is up even as inflation ramps up
• The consumer confidence index spiked in March to 125.6 points, its highest figure since 2000. Business
confidence metrics have also showed optimism, indicating further economic growth ahead. The acceleration in
inflation to 2.7 percent – now at the same rate as wage growth – may begin to affect consumer spending,
however, but tightening labor-market conditions will likely push wages up further.

Industrial observations
2017 set to be another solid year for construction
• The construction pipeline continues to grow, led by a significant increase (29 percent from the fourth quarter) of
construction activity of build-to-suit properties.
• While the speculative pipeline remains robust, owner-user and BTS projects combined contributed 28 percent to
the “new-groundbreakings. Preleasing rates for speculatively-built buildings increased by 320 bps to nearly 27
percent, a sign of continued healthy demand from tenants.
1
Logistics & distribution and 3PL sectors dominate leasing
• Responding to healthy consumer spending and growing e-commerce sales, the combined logistics & distribution
and 3PL sectors committed to 24 percent of the total leasing activity. Inland Empire, Atlanta, Los Angeles and
Chicago are the top hubs of 3PL leasing activity.
• 68 percent of ‘big-box’ leasing signed at new construction buildings (built in last 3 years)
2
Total net absorption continues to outpace new deliveries.
• Philadelphia alone absorbed nearly 8.2 million square feet, followed by Dallas and Atlanta. Those three markets
contributed to 34 percent of U.S. absorption gains.
• Vacancy rates fell in nearly three quarters of U.S. markets, causing overall U.S. vacancy to decline another 30
basis points. This is despite a steady flow of new construction in most markets.

    March 2017 U.S.labor market highlights After two strong months, March disappoints • January and February both exceeded the 200,000-job threshold, while March fell well below expectations with only 98,000 net new jobs. A contraction in retail trade and slowdowns in all major sectors with the exception of professional and business services (PBS) were the primary drivers of this, compounded by volatility due to tightening and employment growth continuing to exceed the rate of labor-force expansion. Although March’s monthly growth did not meet consensus figures, the broader trend remains positive and future months will dictate whether this is an anomalous month or a broader shift in growth rates. 1 Unemployment drops, but slack is beginning to run out • Counter to job growth, unemployment metrics improved once again, with the unemployment rate dropping by another 20 basis points to a cyclical low of 4.5 percent. Total unemployment fell below the 9.0-percent threshold for the first time since 2007 and now stands at 8.9 percent. With unemployment already low, the slowing rate of labor-force expansion (0.5 percent annually compared to total non-farm job growth of 1.5 percent) will present a challenge for employers seeking to increase headcounts, particularly as unemployment for bachelor’s-degree holders remains steady at 2.5 percent. 2 Confidence is up even as inflation ramps up • The consumer confidence index spiked in March to 125.6 points, its highest figure since 2000. Business confidence metrics have also showed optimism, indicating further economic growth ahead. The acceleration in inflation to 2.7 percent – now at the same rate as wage growth – may begin to affect consumer spending, however, but tightening labor-market conditions will likely push wages up further. 3 Source: JLL Research, Bureau of Labor Statistics U.S. economy

    Industrial observations 2017 setto be another solid year for construction • The construction pipeline continues to grow, led by a significant increase (29 percent from the fourth quarter) of construction activity of build-to-suit properties. • While the speculative pipeline remains robust, owner-user and BTS projects combined contributed 28 percent to the “new-groundbreakings. Preleasing rates for speculatively-built buildings increased by 320 bps to nearly 27 percent, a sign of continued healthy demand from tenants. 1 Logistics & distribution and 3PL sectors dominate leasing • Responding to healthy consumer spending and growing e-commerce sales, the combined logistics & distribution and 3PL sectors committed to 24 percent of the total leasing activity. Inland Empire, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Chicago are the top hubs of 3PL leasing activity. • 68 percent of ‘big-box’ leasing signed at new construction buildings (built in last 3 years) 2 Total net absorption continues to outpace new deliveries. • Philadelphia alone absorbed nearly 8.2 million square feet, followed by Dallas and Atlanta. Those three markets contributed to 34 percent of U.S. absorption gains. • Vacancy rates fell in nearly three quarters of U.S. markets, causing overall U.S. vacancy to decline another 30 basis points. This is despite a steady flow of new construction in most markets. 3 U.S. leasing
