Houston Economy: Notable Developments in Employment and Inflation
Job growth in Houston fell slightly below historical averages, while unemployment ticked up but remained low. Sales tax collections, an indicator of economic activity, decreased in 2024.
In Brief
Inflation continued its downward trend, with price increases occurring at a slower pace in Houston compared to the rest of the nation. Oil prices traded within a narrow range, and U.S. production reached a new high.
While office and industrial construction slowed, growth in other sectors picked up. Homebuyers are not seeing any relief in the housing market.
