Abstract	This report examined: (1) Supply and demand for labor in Houston and Texas, including an examination of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB) "60×30TX" strategic plan; (2) In-demand occupations and skills in the Houston area; and (3) Early career wages and unemployment receipt among high school graduates from the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Houston and the state of Texas are projected to fall short of reaching the "60×30TX" goal, an effort aimed at ensuring 60 percent of Texans ages 25-34 complete a postsecondary credential by 2030. Results indicated Houston will be 20 percentage points and Texas 10 percentage points behind the goal. (This brief focuses on the Houston results; results for Texas are available in the full report.) Regardless, data showed a positive relationship between education and earnings. The higher wages associated with a postsecondary credential might be related to the short supply of high-skilled workers in the Houston area and Texas.
