TEXAS AT A GLANCE

The Life Sciences industry generates a significant economic impact on the state of Texas, as companies and institutions purchase equipment and inputs and well-paid employees spend money in their home communities.  The industry's total economic impact on the State of Texas is estimated at $75 billion in economic activity, 236,000 jobs, and $31 billion in payroll.  State and local governments receive an estimated $2 billion each year due to these impacts.

For every job created in the Life Sciences industry, another 2.3 jobs are created elsewhere in the Texas economy.
