    TOP INDUSTRIES of Amarillo & the Texas Panhandle Amarillo’s assets extend far beyond its agricultural commodities and vast land resources. The Texas Panhandle’s economy encompasses a diverse group of industries, from livestock and food technologies to renewable energy and logistics. Each industry helps maintain the region’s, as well as Amarillo’s, economic health. Here’s a look at the top industries of the Texas Panhandle. In the late 1980s, the Amarillo area faced paltry business conditions and limited employment opportunities for area residents. At that time, the unemployment rate was higher than the national average and consumer activity was in a state of decline. Fast forward 30 years, and Amarillo touts an unemployment rate lower than the national average and a diverse industry list. National reports consistently list Amarillo as one of the “Best Cities to Start a Business.” NUMBER OF BUSINESSES (2016) AMARILLO POTTER COUNTY RANDALL COUNTY 10,108 7,044 4,615 businesses businesses businesses 102,970 person labor force TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN POTTER COUNTY 1 MANUFACTURING 2 RETAIL 3 PROFESSIONAL, 4 HEALTHCARE & 5 ACCOMMODATION & SCIENTIFIC & SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES TECHNICAL SERVICE TOP 5 LEADING INDUSTRIES BY JOB IN RANDALL COUNTY 1 RETAIL 2 EDUCATION 3 HEALTHCARE & 4 ACCOMMODATION & 5 OTHER SERVICES SOCIAL SERVICES FOOD SERVICES (Repair, Personal Care, Laundry, Religious, etc.) MAJOR INDUSTRIES OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE Amarillo is one of the top areas for generating wind energy, with Texas being the largest producer of wind power in the country.

Others have shown that joints may develop independently from tectonic deformation I and that joints may form in sedimentary rocks early in their history (Parker, I 1942; Hodgson, 1961; Price, 1966; Cook and Johnson, 1970). Price (1974) investigated the development of joints and stress systems in undeformed I sediments during the accumulation of a sedimentary series, its downwarping and subsequent uplift, and accompanying de-watering of the sediments: Joints I can also result from unloading due to erosion (Chapman, 1958). The formation of I joints in sedimentary rocks is dependent on three factors (Hobbs, 1967): (1) physical properties of both the fractured rock bed and the surrounding I rock beds; (2) thickness of the rock bed; and (3) degree of tectonic deforma­ tion of the beds.
