FYI...

The exerpt below is quoted from the Financial Times - which is registration only.

Houston tops NY as US’s leading goods exporter

The greater Houston area has replaced New York City as the largest goods exporting region of the US, official data have shown, thanks to the energy boom that is reshaping the country's industrial landscape.

Houston's exports have been powered by the surge in oil and natural gas production from shale reserves, which has created cheap feedstocks for the region's refineries and petrochemical plants.

The metropolitan area's exports were worth $110.3bn in 2012, up 5.6 per cent from last year, pushing the New York area into second place after a 2.7 per cent drop to $102.3bn.

...
As well as fossil fuel products, the Houston region also has significant exports of manufactured goods including machinery and electronics.

Although the latest numbers are for goods exports only, the shift away from New York and towards Houston echoes the US economy’s tilt away from financial services and towards energy.


If you can handle the summer weather, this is the place to be right now for employment.

Too bad that a huge percentage of our exports are oil by-products including gasoline
