Valuable Regional Manufacturing Data Now Available for Texans

This monitoring effort generates large quantities of data, much of which the agency shares directly with the public.

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – One of the main objectives of the Comptroller’s overall mission is to keep tabs on the Texas economy — one of the world’s largest. This monitoring effort generates large quantities of data, much of which the agency shares directly with the public.

Toward that end, Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s staff has compiled manufacturing data by region across the Lone Star State.

Among other facts, is a finding that manufacturers:
 

• Employed almost one million Texans in 2019
• Contributing $241 billion to Texas’ gross domestic product (GDP)
• or about 13% of the Lone Star State's total economic output

The Comptroller’s posted a Statewide Manufacturing Overview, as well as profiles for the state’s 12 Economic Regions (see links in the right margin of the overview webpage).

Note: These data were collected before the COVID-19 pandemic and reflect the economic situation of the state of Texas at that time.
