Campus Degree Options in Texas (TX)
Texas Degrees and Careers an Educated Choice
Two factors that, until recently, had somewhat insulated Texas from recession were the high prices of oil and natural gas and exports, with growth boosted by the weak U.S. dollar. As the dollar has strengthened and oil and gas prices have dropped, these two prime Texas industry sectors could decline slightly.
However, a State of Texas report projects that the transportation industry will have annual job increases in 2010-11. Healthy growth is also anticipated in the professional and business services industry with a shift from jobs related to construction, finance, and energy to those in government, transportation, and health care. The leisure and hospitality industry should continue to grow but at a moderate pace.
