Houston has been one of the biggest cities in south and considered to be oil driven economy and as any other metropolitan city, the population has been growing steadily in Houston. Houston is known as space city, and expected to be doing good in both manufacturing and Tech sectors
2008 recession hit Houston too and the sudden drop in businesses and jobs in both manufacturing sector and Tech sector can be observed. Right after 2010 the city has been doing equally better in both mechanical and in tech industry
Since 2015 the pay & establishments in both sectors have been in sharp decline. Other than general trends of population migration, we consider this to be correlated with oil prices (see picture below)
