The Texas economy is one of the largest in the United States. If Texas were an independent country, its economy would be the 15th largest in the world. Fifty-four Fortune 500 companies in the U.S. are in Texas, the third-highest amount of any state in the country. In addition, jobs in Texas are growing faster than in the rest of the nation. And it is not just oil and gas. According to federal Bureau of Labor Statistics data, Texas added more jobs than any other state in 2014 and led the nation in job growth for five consecutive years.
Texas’ success is built in part on its high-quality infrastructure. For example, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the second-largest and fourth-busiest airport in the U.S. Every major city in the continental U.S. can be accessed within four hours flying time from the airport, giving Texas a major competitive advantage in business. Nearby Alliance Airport serves as a key freight transport center. Texas is also a major rail center. Fort Worth’s Tower 55 coordinates more than 100 freight and passenger trains a day through the city.
Texas’s success is also driven by its major research universities, such as Texas A&M. In 2017, research conducted at the university represented annual expenditures of more than $905.4 million, ranking Texas A&M in the top 20 of the National Science Foundation’s Higher Education Research and Development Survey.
