of the Texas economy.• Old story of cattle, cotton and oil has given

way to a new narrative.• New story is driven by jobs in the urban

centers.

economic data by industry.– Number of firms– Number of paid employees– Payroll

• Uses North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

• Excludes farming and railroads, along with household jobs

Two Lenses• The CBP data looks at how big various sectors

are in Texas.• Concentration is a different way to measure

the impact.

Industry Clusters• Geographically concentrated groups of

companies related by – the technologies they use– the markets they serve– the goods and services they produce– the labor skills they require

Location Quotient• Ratio of Local Employment Concentration to

National Concentration within a sector.• Numbers greater than 1 indicate a greater

concentration than the nation as a whole.• Numbers less than 1 indicate a lesser

concentration than the nation as a whole.
