Texas Industries and Employment The largest sectors of the Texas economy are, in declining size: Health Care, Retail, Education and Accommodation and Food. Many of these industry segments experienced weak or negative job growth in 2009 but generally industry sectors in Texas performed better than was the case for the nation as a whole. And while the job growth recovery in the Texas industry sectors is forecast to be relatively moderate over the next couple of years, it will be more robust than is the case for the U.S. economy as a whole. Growth in public administration will create 30,000 jobs in 2008-12 reflecting continued growth in public sector expenditures.

Employment in the Local Workforce Development Areas Gulf Coast, Dallas, Alamo, Tarrant County and North Central are the five largest LWDAs in terms of employment. Virtually all of the LWDAs experienced employment decline in 2009. And most of the LWDAs will experience a moderate recovery in employment growth over the 2010-2012 period. There are though some LWDAs that will experience very anemic growth during this period: Golden Cresent, North Texas, North East Texas, South East Texas, Texoma, Concho Valley, and Dallas.
Texas Employment Trends Employment in the 28 Texas LWDAs totaled 10.2 million in 2008. RDA Global estimates that employment declined by 2.2 percent in 2009 to just under 10 million. In 2010 we expect employment to grow by about 1 percent bringing the employment numbers just over 10 million. In 2011 and 2012 we are forecasting annual employment growth of about 1.5 percent which will bring total employment to about 10.4 million.

Texas Jobs: 2012 and Growth 2008-12 (1000s)
Texas Jobs: 2012 and Growth 2008-12 (Positives) In 2012, the four largest industry segments in terms of employment are: Health Care, Education, Retail, and Accommodation and Food Three of these will experience significant job creation over the 2008-12 period: Health Care (122,000 new jobs); Education (60,000); and Accommodation (80,000). Retail will provide 1.2 million jobs in 2012 but this is essentially the same level the sector was at in 2008. Growth in public administration will create 30,000 jobs in 2008-12 reflecting continued growth in public sector expenditures.

Health Care: The Largest Job Creating Sector in Texas In the U.S. 10 of the 20 fastest growing occupations are healthcare related Nation-wide healthcare is expected to generate 3.2 million new wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018, more than any other industry, largely in response to rapid growth in the elderly population. In 2012 it will be the largest employer in the state, employing 1.3 million people Between 2008 and 2012 the sector will create 122,000 jobs in Texas which represents about one-third of all new jobs created during this period.
Accommodation and Food: Slower but Strong Growth Recently this sector has had greater than average employment growth in the state. Reduced disposable income will slow this growth. Nevertheless in 2008-2012 period it will create 78,000 jobs; and increase of 9 percent over this four year period.
Education: Tracking National Trends Employment in the U.S. education sector is expected to grow by about 1.2 percent annually over the next ten years according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Driving this growth is increasing student enrolments at all levels of education. Given Texas demographics, which tend to be younger than the national average, this student enrolment growth will be higher in the state. In Texas we expect annual growth in education employment of about 1.4 percent for the 2008-2012 period. By 2012 this will be the second largest employer in Texas employing 1.1 million people and it will add about 63,000 jobs over the 2008 and 2012 period.
Public Administration: Counter-cyclical Local Government Government employment tends to grow during periods of economic contraction and have no reason to expect otherwise in this recession period and in the post-recession period of high unemployment Much of the growth will take place at local government levels. Annual growth in government employment will be about 1.8 percent during this four year period, creating about 31,000 jobs.
Texas Jobs: 2012 and Growth 2008-12 (Negatives) Manufacturing continues its secular decline in the 2008-12 period the sector will shed approximately 100,000 jobs in this period. Construction and the Management and Waste sectors will also experience significant job loss partially a fallout of problems in both consumer and commercial real estate markets.

Manufacturing: Decline will Continue Manufacturing activity in Texas will stabilize and experience moderate improvement in the 2010-12 period. Manufacturing employment will not recover to the same extent the numbers employed in manufacturing will continue to decline in the 2010-12 period. Continued global competition in the manufacturing sector (and a recently appreciating U.S. dollar) will put pressure on Texas exports it will also mean that larger firms will continue the trend of out sourcing jobs off-shore. Small and medium size manufacturing firms are an important source of job creation these small and medium size firms have been particularly negatively affected by the recent financial crisis that has resulted in a significant reduction in bank lending to small and medium size firms.
Construction: Significant Decline During the period 2008-2012, employment in construction will decline by approximately 60,000 jobs. Employment in construction declined significantly in 2009 and we do not expect any significant growth in the construction sector in 2010-2012.
Dallas Jobs: 2012 and Growth 2008-12 Mediocre job growth over 2008-12. Of its six largest employment sectors, only 1 (Health Care) shows robust growth while a second (Accommodation and Food) will just barely have positive growth. The other four of its six largest employment sectors all show declining employment in three cases quite substantial (Manufacturing, Professional, and Administration and Waste). And some of its smaller employment sectors like wholesale, construction, and other services will experience relatively large employment losses.
