The city is a significant energy hub, with over 5,000 energy-related businesses, including major giants such as ExxonMobil and Shell who generate economic growth and employment opportunities (Greater Houston Partnership). The low cost of living is much lower than the national average, making it appealing for professionals looking to stretch their dollar (US News & World Report).

The Texas Medical Center’s broad network of hospitals and research institutions provides a constant demand for nurses, medical technicians and physicians, with healthcare occupations expanding in the area (Houston Chronicle). The city’s energy sector, led by ExxonMobil and Chevron, is constantly looking for professionals, specifically petroleum and chemical engineers, to support its operations (Greater Houston Partnership). The area’s booming tech industry has resulted in increased demand for IT workers like software developers and cybersecurity experts (Houston Tech Rodeo).
