MCALLEN, RGV – If Reynosa and Matamoros are included, the South Texas-Northern Tamaulipas border region has more than 200,000 workers in the manufacturing sector.
But, if Tamaulipas is excluded and the focus is only the Rio Grande Valley the number shrinks to around 13,000. Not that big a figure but the number is increasing, reports Mike Willis, executive director of South Texas Manufacturers Association.
Willis provides reports on the labor market for Workforce Solutions. In his report for April 2018, Willis reported:
“In the McAllen and Brownsville MSAs, the Manufacturing sector has very quietly added a total of 1,000 new jobs in the past year- an annual growth rate of 9.3 percent,” Willis said.

The Rio Grande Valley has seen a steady decrease in the unemployment rate throughout the past 12 months.
"McAllen is currently at 4.9; They're tied with Edinburg for first and Mission is third with a 6 percent unemployment rate," said Mike Gonzalez with the Texas Workforce Solutions. "All three have dropped."
With McAllen and Edinburg tied for the city with the least unemployed people, officials say it's because of their unique economic plan.
