No state has fared better than Texas during the current recession. One reason for this is our robust high-tech sector. Texas’ $39.8 billion in high-tech exports supports more high tech jobs—253,600—than any other state. Texas is attracting high-tech employers and jobs because our low tax and regulatory policies provide a climate for innovation that allows these companies and their employees to thrive. This primer will examine the reasons for Texas success and what else Texas can do to foster innovation and increase jobs in our high technology industries.
