Greater Austin is not only the
geographic metropolitan center of Texas,
but it also occupies center stage in the
state’s positive economic health as a
hotbed for a number of industries –
including technology, real estate,
healthcare, and—as the state capital—
both local, state and federal government.
For example, Austin is often dubbed the
“Silicon Hills” because of the plethora of
technology companies that have chosen to
make their home here. Austin counts 3M,
Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard, Google,
Facebook, AMD, Applied Materials,
Cirrus Logic, Cisco Systems, eBay/PayPal,
Bioware, Blizzard Entertainment,
Hoover’s, Intel Corporation, National
Instruments, Samsung Austin Semiconductor,
Silicon Laboratories, Oracle Corporation,
Hostgator, and United Devices among the
many top companies with operations in
Central Texas.
In fact, the tech companies here
account for much of all tech-related
revenue in Texas – second only to the
Dallas/Fort Worth area. This industry
diversity offers a veritable cornucopia of
employment opportunities for those
relocating here, with companies that have
chosen to establish operations in Greater
Austin for its high quality of life, plentiful
housing opportunities and relatively low
cost of living.
The following is a list of Austin’s 25
largest employers. It includes corporations
and government/municipal organizations
in a range of industries, as well as a
brief description of each company/
organization and its services.
