Homeland Security / Law Enforcement

This cluster cuts across a number of industry sectors, including government, defense, information technology, and services.

In the post-9/11 world, security has become a key concern for business and government. National security initiatives related to airline travel and international trade have resulted in significant growth in security-related employment across the country.

The proximity to Mexico, the presence of three international airports, the significant number of manufacturing operations, and the considerable number of correctional facilities should translate into steady growth in law enforcement and security-related employment.
