San Antonio Leads the Market in Retail Job Growth

What is one of the topics we hear about most these day when we turn on the national news? Jobs, Jobs, Jobs…And specifically, how there needs to be more of them!

Well, according to a new analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, San Antonio is doing pretty darn good when it comes to creating new retail jobs! In fact, San Antonio is among the top cities in the United States!

The study took a look at retail job creation over the past 5 years (2005-2011) and out of the nation’s 100 biggest metropolitan areas, only 14 have more retail jobs today than they did five years ago. Texas cities claimed the top 4 spots…McAllen, Austin, Houston & San Antonio!

Over the 5 year period, San Antonio added 96,100 retail jobs, which translates to a growth rate of 4.12 percent.

“The retail sector plays a key role in any economic recovery. Here’s the theory: If consumers spend more money, stores and restaurants will hire more workers, and conditions are bound to improve.” (bizjournals.com)
