In 2011, the booming oil and gas industry in South Texas generated at least 1,600 local jobs, which accounted for 32 percent of the area's total employment growth. The three Coastal Bend counties that sit atop the Eagle Ford Shale formation also experienced a combined gain of nearly 600 jobs and $80 million in business revenues.
