    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.

A record February low for San Antonio of 4 degrees was set February 12, 1899. It was also a record February low for Austin of -1 on February 12, 1899. During this historic cold spell, extremely cold temperatures affected the entire state of Texas. On February 13, 1899 the whole part of Galveston Bay, except the main channel, was covered by thin ice. Lows in other locations around Texas on Feb. 12, 1899 include: Tulia -23; Amarillo -16; Brownsville 16; Dallas-Ft. Worth -8; Waco -5; Laredo 5; Galveston 8; and Corpus Christi 11. In the February of 1899 arctic outbreak, the coldest low in Brownsville was 12 on Feb. 13, 1899, still an all time record low for Brownsville. The low of -23 at Tulia, in the southern part of the Texas panhandle, Feb. 12, 1899 was a record low for the state of Texas, then was tied when Seminole observed -23 on Feb. 8, 1933. Unofficial reports of -30 came from Wolf Creek and also southeast of Perryton, both in the northern part of the Texas panhandle. - 1900 - The next 2 weather events listed for 1900 and 1902 were not in South Central Texas..
