Texas is tops in U.S exports

February 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Economy, Texas

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has just announced that for the 7th straight year, the state of Texas leads the nation in exports. All that exporting means jobs for Texans!

The exports coming from the Lone Star State, which include chemicals, electronics, oil and transportation equipment, totaled more than $192 billion which represents a 14% increase over 2007. The largest export recipients include Mexico, Canada, China, Holland and Brazil.

According to Texas Governor Rick Perry, there’s a reason for this success. “Maintaining our rank as the nation’s top exporting state is proof positive that Texas has sound policies in place to cushion it from the effects of an economic downturn,” he said.
