Summary Population continues to grow quickly though growth is geographically unequal. Population growth is being driven by Hispanic population. The future Texas labor force will be largely Hispanic. Hispanics tend to have lower levels of educational attainment than other groups. Geographic distribution of industries and occupations is variable. Demographic and infrastructure challenges may have serious implications for future Texas economy. 38
