THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DATA POINTING TO LASTING SUCCESS FOR BUSINESSES IN AMARILLO.

• More Than just home to major manufacturers of alternative energy and agriculture, a look at the numbers illustrates Amarillo is the place for lasting success. Nearly 60% of our growing Amarillo and surrounding MSA population is of working age (between 20 and 65).
• More than 50% have attended college and over 20% have graduated from high school, which are impressive numbers considering our two-county region is younger than the nation.
• More than 10,000 businesses have operations in Amarillo especially in the manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and social service sectors. But over the past 5 years, industries have started to shift towards more high-tech endeavors. Prime examples of this include alternative energy producers and aviation companies.
• As a result, household incomes from these high-paying jobs are reflecting in a strong local economy. Median household incomes are 16% higher than the nation and 12% higher than Texas.
