The 27th District of Texas is a great place to work and has a multitude of job opportunities. In fact, I often hear that companies are having a hard time filling openings. The business friendly climate in Texas coupled with low energy prices, a manufacturing renaissance, an oil boom in the Eagle Ford Shale region and a Tech boom in central Texas make for good paying jobs.

Constituents often contact my office inquiring about job opportunities. Below are some resources that should help anyone interested in finding employment around the Coastal Bend and with the federal government. My office also hosts job fairs throughout the year, so please subscribe to my newsletter to find out where they will take place.
