Houston’s Economic Outlook

 “If Houston were a country, it would be the 28th largest global

   Economy in the world. Larger than Austria and South Africa, but

   smaller than Taiwan and Argentina.”

                                                                                    --Patrick Jankowski

Houston is the fastest growing major metropolitan area in the United States. Population growth, high employment, and some of the greatest job growth in the country… truly a dynamic and diverse economy.

Come listen to Patrick Jankowski as he provides an overview of current industry outlook, population, employment and job creation trends, in addition to key economic indicators including home sales, auto sales, and the Houston purchasing managers index.

 Through its Business Development, Public Policy and Membership Divisions, the Partnership develops and implements integrated programs to enhance the business climate, business activity, job creation, economic development and quality of life throughout the Houston region.
