TOP 25 DFW
EMPLOYERS
YOUR CAREER is WAITING
The Dallas/Fort Worth area is the
fastest-growing metro area in Texas, and
the nation. The DFW Metroplex is the
fourth largest metropolitan area in the
country, with a population of 6,700,991,
according to recent data. That’s a gain of
over 1 million since 2000. What brings
people to DFW? At least one reason is the
jobs. The unemployment rate has been
consistently lower than both the Texas and
national averages: . 35 and 1.2% lower in
July of 2013, respectively. In addition, 18
DFW companies made the Fortune 500
list in 2013, including Wal-Mart, Exxon
Mobil Corp., and Dallas-based AT&T.
There are more than 70,000 firms in the
area, with 90,000 physical business
establishments. Around 4% of those firms
and 1% of physical establishments have
more than 500 employees.
Like other areas in Texas, DFW has plenty
of employment opportunities for those
who choose to relocate here. In addition,
CNBC named Texas America’s Top State
for Business in recent years. The area has
also consistently had a low cost of living,
around the same as Houston, and
considerably lower than Austin. With
plenty of opportunity, it’s no wonder the
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has seen
such growth.
