In just three decades, the Austin region has transformed from a sleepy university and state government town into a national driver of economic activity and innovation. We are a destination city for entrepreneurs, millennials and breakfast taco aficionados.
We have added more new jobs — 350,000 in 12 years — as a percentage of our labor market than any major U.S. metro. Per capita incomes improved dramatically. All year, we field delegations from around the country to learn how Austin does it and how they can too.
