Houston needs 20,000 NEW Petro-Chemical Workers Each Year

“The data from JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and the Greater Houston Partnership in their “Houston Skills Gap Report” indicates that a lot more Houstonians need a high school diploma, or equivalent, and some additional community or technical college training — but not a university degree — in order to adequately fill the jobs void. 

Chemical companies have committed to spending more than $100 billion in expansion projects from 2010 to 2023, most of which are in southeastern Texas and along the Gulf Coast.” [Houston Business Journal]
