Unemployment is Decreasing in the RGV – A Brighter Future for the Valley and How Herrman & Herrman Can Help

The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) has seen remarkable progress in reducing unemployment. Once burdened with some of the highest jobless rates in Texas, the RGV is now witnessing a transformation driven by community effort, economic growth, and improved access to education.

While these advancements are promising, life’s challenges don’t disappear with a better job market. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you need a trusted ally to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve. At Herrman & Herrman, Personal Injury Lawyers, we’re here to support you through life’s unexpected hurdles.

What’s Driving Lower Unemployment in the RGV?

The latest reports from Workforce Solutions reveal a drastic shift. In some areas, unemployment has dropped by as much as 40% compared to the 1990s. This progress wasn’t accidental; it’s the result of collaborative efforts from businesses, organizations, and residents to improve the region’s economic opportunities.

Key factors include:

  • Population Growth: With a growing population, new businesses are opening their doors daily, creating more opportunities.
  • Trade Expansion: The RGV’s position as a trade hub has bolstered the local economy.
  • Education Advancements: Access to quality education has transformed the workforce.

Despite these improvements, accidents and personal injuries can disrupt lives in an instant. Whether it’s a workplace incident, a car crash, or a slip and fall, injuries can leave you feeling lost. That’s where Herrman & Herrman comes in. We fight to ensure you don’t have to face these challenges alone.


Education: The Catalyst for Change

A growing emphasis on education is reshaping the RGV. Today, nearly 65% of residents have at least a high school diploma or GED—a significant jump from 50% just a few decades ago. The addition of institutions like South Texas College, UTRGV, and the upcoming Texas A&M branch is equipping residents with the skills needed to compete in a modern job market.

Dual enrollment programs and the aspirations of second- and third-generation immigrants are giving young people the tools they need to thrive. This progress shows the RGV’s resilience and determination to build a better future.

But even as the region prospers, accidents can happen. No matter how careful you are, you may find yourself injured due to someone else’s negligence. When that happens, Herrman & Herrman is ready to step in and fight for the justice you deserve.


Why Choose Herrman & Herrman?
