Great Reasons to Call San Antonio Home – National Recognition

Great Reasons to Call San Antonio Home – National Recognition

So…I was siting at a Title Company yesterday waiting on a client and I was sorting through the magazine selection on the table and picked up the 2011 Relocation Guide published by The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.  It’s easy to forget sometimes how great we have it here in San Antonio…but I was quickly reminded as I thumbed through the pages…so much great information & statistics about our great city!

One thing that caught my eye was a list of how San Antonio “Measures Up”.  It provided information of National Recognitions that San Antonio has recently received…

# 1 – Best Overall Experience for Visitors (Travels America 2010)

#2 – Best City to Find a Job (Newgeography.com 2010)

#5 – Among Top 100 Places to Live (RelocateAmerica.com 2010)

#5 – Among Top 10 Cities Poised for Economic Recovery (RelocateAmerica.com)

#5  – Among Top 10 Best Cities for Recession Recovery (Forbes 2010)

#14 – Among Top 25 Best-Performing Large Metros (Milken Institute 2010)

#2 – Fastest-Recovering City in America (Forbes 2009)

Also…

Among Best Cities for New College Grads (Bloomberg Businessweek 2010)

Highest Numeric Population Increase Among Texas Cities, 2008-2009 (U.S. Census Bureau 2010)

San Antonio Leads the Market in Retail Job Growth

What is one of the topics we hear about most these day when we turn on the national news?  Jobs, Jobs, Jobs…And specifically, how there needs to be more of them!

Well, according to a new analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, San Antonio is doing pretty darn good when it comes to creating new retail jobs!  In fact, San Antonio is among the top cities in the United States!

The study took a look at retail job creation over the past 5 years (2005-2011) and out of the nation’s 100 biggest metropolitan areas, only 14 have more retail jobs today than they did five years ago.  Texas cities claimed the top 4 spots…McAllen, Austin, Houston & San Antonio!

Over the 5 year period, San Antonio added 96,100 retail jobs, which translates to a growth rate of 4.12 percent.

“The retail sector plays a key role in any economic recovery. Here’s the theory: If consumers spend more money, stores and restaurants will hire more workers, and conditions are bound to improve.” (bizjournals.com)

This is just one reason we are continuing to see a steady real estate market here in San Antonio.   Of course it doesn’t hurt that we have fantastic schools, great shopping & dining, and tons of fun stuff for all to enjoy!

Way to go San Antonio!
