LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RGA Associates, Inc. Southern California office, now fully into its second year of operation supporting Software Engineers and Developers, is poised to support the surge of new positions and requirements in the Los Angeles and Orange County marketplace. Recent economic forecasters have rightly focused on the overall effect of the housing slump. And even with the slow down in the overall economy the unemployment picture will be essentially the same!
“The forecast we are presenting is the picture of a soft landing,” said Carl Tannenbaum, NABE's president and the chief economist at LaSalle Bank/ABN AMRO in Chicago.
As housing stabilizes, the forecasters are looking for GDP growth to rebound to 3 percent in 2008.
Because of the slowdown in growth, the forecasters predicted the unemployment rate will tick up modestly to 4.7 percent this year and 4.8 percent in 2008. The rate averaged 4.6 percent last year, the lowest in six years, as described in Slower Economic Growth Is Predicted, By MARTIN CRUTSINGER

Alan Elmont, SoCal Area Manager for RGA comments, “in the disciplines of Software Engineering and Development we have been at virtually 100% full employment for the past 2 years! Slower growth in the overall economy will not change these dynamics particularly as we factor in the decrease in college grads in the science fields and the increase in baby boomer retirements.” Mr. Elmont commented further that “RGA’s time proven methodology of personal networking has positioned us very well to partner with both the individual and the technical manager to support the ever growing demand for top level technically skilled Software professionals.”
