The Austin Economy: Where Have We Been & Where are We Going

Austin has been one of America’s fastest growing metro areas for the past decade. Even so, recent job reports show employment growth has slowed. Is this a signal that Austin has reached its peak, or is this a standard leveling off that occurs when metro cities reach a more mature status?

Angelos will put on his prognosticator hat and discuss Austin’s growth potential going forward. Moreover, Angelos will discuss the challenges that face our region. What progress have we made on those issues and what work still needs to be done? As someone who has closely monitored the Austin economy for the past 30+ years, Angelos has all the answers to your burning questions about the city we call home.
