Austin is fortunate in that there is a diverse range of employment opportunities in the area. Consequently Austin enjoys a low unemployment rate and has a robust economy. This is good for both individuals and for businesses moving to the area.

Since Austin is the state capitol, the State of Texas is the city's largest employer. Other government entities, as well as education and health care also employ thousands. And of course, the high-tech industry is the source of an ever-growing number of jobs as more and more high-tech companies (both large and small) move into the area, securing Austin's reputation as a high-tech leader. This is enhanced and abetted by the many educational research facilities in the area.
