April 2016 [$100K - $200K+] Jobs List
WELCOME TO SPRING!!! According to the Greater Houston Partnership, several sectors have reported job
growth. Combined, these sectors have created over 65,000 new jobs. This is indeed a potential offset to the
job losses in the energy industry. A few of the sectors experiencing growth include: Construction, Educational
Services, Finance and Insurance, Government, Health Care, Transportation, Warehousing, Utilities, Other
Services, and Retail.
In addition, a few companies in the area are beginning to make strategic hires this quarter, and are currently
seeking talented individuals to help achieve both short and longer term strategic goals. So turn any frowns
upside down! Houston is still a great “long-term” place to live in order to develop your professional career.

NATIONAL JOB MARKET & ECONOMIC DATA:
The SMB Job Generation Outlook examines executive perspectives on topics facing America’s small to mid-sized business
market, including the economy, employment trends, political and sociological environments, and the tangible impact these
issues have on SMB business and employment planning. For the past three years, Lucas Group has conducted the SMB Job
Generation Outlook in an effort to compile and deliver a comprehensive, executive-level report providing both current
opinions and future planning trends for America’s small to mid-sized business sector.
Focused intentionally on C-level execs and business owners, the Outlook addresses an array of significant topics,
including the economy’s health, employment trends, political issues and SMB-specific growth plans. This leadership
focused approach enables us to reliably report on business opinions and market expectations, as experienced from an SMB
executive’s perspective.
Each quarter, the SMB Job Generation Outlook asks executives a baseline question regarding their company’s current
overall health and standing. Are they positioned for growth, stability maintenance, controlled retrenchment or survival?
This company mode question helps capture a broad-spectrum view of how SMBs see themselves in the marketplace. From
privately held businesses with a few hundred employees to mid-market public corporations employing thousands,
executives generally report U.S. SMBs are on sure footing and future-focused.
In Q4 2015, most respondents reported their companies to be in stable, healthy condition. Forty-two percent of Q4
respondents said their SMBs are entering 2016 with a strong outlook and are positioned for growth. More than half (51%)
said their businesses remain stable, and only seven percent considered their companies in controlled retrenchment or
survival mode (data taken From the Lucas Group SMB Job Generation Outlook Survey – Q4’ 2015).
