the first year of job losses for Houston, following a stellar period of expansion and job growth
from 2005 to 2008. And while the local metro still has economic hurdles to overcome, Houston
is once again making headlines as one of the least affected markets in the nation. In its March

Houston Ranks 2nd in U.S. Population GrowthHouston ranks among the leading metropolitan areas in the U.S., and is the fourth largest city and the sixth
Click to edit Master text styleslargest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the nation. In March 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau announced
Houston ranked second among the nations top 25 cities in annual population growth, which represents a
continuation of strong growth trends over the past two decades for both the city and metro area. Between 1990
and 2000, the Houston metro area increased an impressive 25.2 percent, making it one of the fastest growing
metropolitan areas in the country. With an estimated 5.8M residents in 2009, the Houston metro area is expected
to increase 6.8 percent over the next five years to 6.2M. On a more long-term basis, demographers project strong
population growth for the area over the next thirty years as domestic and international migration trends favor
Houstons geographical, cultural, and economic strengths.
The 2000 U.S. Census also showed a dramatic increase of 22.5 percent in Houston metro area households to
1.7M from 1.4M in 1990. From the most recent estimate of 2.0M households in 2009, demographers are
projecting an additional 8.9 percent increase to 2.1M households within the next five years (from 2009 to 2014).
The average household income for the metro area was estimated at $76,301 in 2009, with a 11.9 percent projected
increase to $85,409 by 2014. The median household income was estimated at $58,581 in 2009 and projected to
increase to $63,857 by 2014. By comparison, the national income levels fell below the Houston market ith the
2009 U.S. household average income estimated at $69,330 and the median income at $53,679.

SELECT MAJOR AREAEMPLOYERS
Click to edit Master text stylesleading economists continue to forecast a slow economic recovery for the U.S. ith
little to no significant job growth expected before 2011. Houston is projected to gain
2,000 to 5,000 new jobs by the end of 2010, which although well below previous
periods of growth, nevertheless represents an improvement over 2009 and is
significantly stronger than the ongoing job losses projected for other U.S. metros of
comparable size. Among the most important lessons learned from the credit meltdown
of September 2008 was an increased appreciation for the complex interconnection
between global economies. Following Houstons economic slowdown in 2009 resulting
from a severe reduction in global demand for energy, the local recovery continues to
hinge largely on the strengthening of both national and global markets.
Overall, Houstons business strengths are grounded in a diverse base of future-growth
industries that have consistently generated above-average job growth trends. Between
2005 and 2008, Houstons job growth repeatedly surpassed major metro areas of
comparable size as ell as the national average job growth rate. The local economy
succumbed to the global recession in the final quarter of 2008, however, following thedramatic credit meltdown and the subsequent near paralysis of almost all global
markets. In the twelve months ending in December 2009, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics estimated Houston lost 92,500 jobs, representing a -3.5% job growth rate
(note: preliminary estimates for all U.S. metros are subject to revision in 2010). By
comparison, the state of Texas and the U.S. recorded -2.6% and -4.0% job growth rate,
respectively, in 2009. Against the national job losses reaching 5.5 million in the twelve
months ending in December 2009 and 6.5 million since December 2007 Houstons
employment shrinkage has been relatively contained. Below is the 2009 comparative

significant, accounting for $117.6B of total economic activity in Texas, including $39.3B of total personal income,
and $3.7B in state and local taxes. Among the largest recent developments is the $1.2B Bayport Container and
Terminal Project estimated to generate $1B of annual business revenue, with an additional $40M in annual tax
revenue, as well as 12,000 new jobs created. The first phase of the project commenced operations in February
2007, followed by Phase II in May 2008, and Phase III scheduled to open in 2010 with 1,330 feet of additional
wharf, 18 Rubber Tire Gantry (RTG) yard cranes, six post Panamax cranes, a total of 7,000 feet of berthing space
at final build-out and 2.3M TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) capacity. The significant increase in demand for
waterborne cargo has been driven by several factors, including new trade agreements with Asia, Europe and Latin
America, as well as the overall expansion of global industrialization. In the U.S., the West Coast Longshoremen
strike of 2002 a ten-day shut down of 29 west coast ports with an estimated cost of $19B was a significant
factor increasing demand at the Port of Houston, as business leaders continue to seek new shipping patterns to
maximize their logistics operations transporting goods to markets worldwide.
Container and Warehouse Trends
Since 2002, U.S. port market activity has changed significantly in response to shifting global geopolitical dynamics,with container activity increasing dramatically. Container imports received at the Port of Houston Authority
(PHA) have moved away from Europe and towards Northeast Asia. Between 2002 and 2008, Northeast Asia
container activity increased from 2 percent to 23 percent, while container volume from Europe decreased from 45
percent to 29 percent during the same period. Asia is expected to continue gaining U.S. import market share,
with the strongest growth from China, India, Singapore and Vietnam. Increased activity for the Port of Houston is
expected to continue driving new industrial development in Houstons Southeast Industrial Corridor. Since 2006,
over 12M SF of new industrial distribution centers and warehouses were built near the PHA container facilities,
including 1M SF of refrigerated warehouse space, with an additional 11.7M SF proposed for the area.

developed to increase venture capital interests in Houston and is committed to supporting start-up companies by
providing tenant options for shared office, wet laboratory space (including equipment), and flexible leases.
BioHouston, Inc., a non-profit corporation founded by Houston area academic/research institutions, is actively
leading a broad-based effort to strengthen Houstons position as a global competitor in life science and biotechnology.
BioHoustons Resource Center, the first incubator facility serving the Houston life sciences community, is housed atthe Genesis Biotechnology Park adding a key component to ongoing commercialization efforts. The Center is
specifically designed to serve start-up biotech and life sciences companies by offering access to shared laboratory space,
research resources, and networking opportunities with a community of biotech entrepreneurs.
From its base of cutting-edge research, Houston has taken the next step in its evolution as a primary life science
cluster by creating an environment conducive for private companies to develop and market life science products.
With key initiatives in place to bring together the public and private sectors, as well significant improvements to the
scope of services and incentives available to private companies, the infrastructure is in place to capitalize on Houstons
strong research base and convert it into commercialized product. With this process now in motion, the biotech future
in Houston looks bright.
