17 Texas #1 in downstream production High oil and gas prices hurt downstream industries Strong growth in foreign demand boosts downstream industry

18 Chemical exports growing because of weak domestic demand at home, strong growth in developing world But also driven by low natural gas prices North America makes many key chemicals and plastics with natural gas, while rest of world uses oil On an energy-equivalent basis, natural gas less than one-third the price of oil North American companies have huge cost advantage

34 10 percent increase in maquiladora output in Ciudad Juarez leads to an increase in El Paso employment as follows: 3.0 percent increase in total employment 5.4 percent in transportation employment 1.4 percent in retail trade employment 2.2 percent in finance, insurance and real estate (FIRE) employment 2.0 percent in services employment (-) 1.2 percent in manufacturing employment

35 Over the years, the bulk of the impact has switch from the manufacturing sector to the services sector. El Paso continues to be a supplier to the maquiladoras in Juarez, but we now supply business services. This is good news to us because these type of jobs pay higher wages than the traditional manufacturing jobs
