Pair and compare two distinct industry sectors of your choosing to examine their relative importance and performance across all of Texas' 254 county economies over 1969-2023.

Apply the interactive tools included in this module to conduct your own research about how any two industry sectors compare and contrast across the counties of Texas. The analytical tools at your disposal for ranking and sorting the importance and growth of individual industry sectors across counties include: percent of the overall State average earnings per job, percent of the State counterpart, percent of the national counterpart, growth rates and growth rates differenced against overall averages locally and their counterparts nationwide.
