The Greater Dallas Chamber focused on a few key

strategies during 2002:
Market our region worldwide as the
resource-rich place for people and business.
Stimulate economic development.
Represent business on major public policy issues.
Help build a qualied workforce through improved
public and higher education.

to our members

In collaboration with the Fort Worth Chamber and

other business organizations, we launched a new
brand for D/FW: Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex: the
where, with all. Our most comprehensive marketing
effort ever is positioning our region as the location
for talented people and their companies.
The Chamber continues to concentrate on creating
jobs. Despite a slow economy, the number of companies inquiring about relocating to D/FW jumped
40% from the year before. This bodes well for corporate relocation and job creation this year.
In public policy, our support of the Dallas
Independent School District's bond package played a major role in its approval. The Chamber also successfully supported the mayor and councils plan, approved by voters, to give Dallas police and reghters a 15% increase over three years. This year, we advocate passage of a bond program to upgrade
the infrastructure of Dallas. We will also pursue legislation in Austin to improve air quality, transportation,
higher education and economic development.
Internationally, last falls trade mission to Canada marked the rst joint marketing effort by the mayors of
Dallas and Fort Worth. The mission was also the international debut of the new D/FW brand.
Our regions fundamentals remain strong. We boast enviable resourcesa highly educated work force,
top-notch research institutions, and an excellent transportation and logistics network. Our leadership
reaches out to businesses, and our nancial institutions are business friendly. The regions entrepreneurs and innovations place us high in the ranks of attractive locations for business.
These solid building blocks make us a formidable competitor in the short term and over the long haul.
As the thousands of companies based here know, the Metroplex is an excellent place to live and work.
We thank our board, members, volunteers and staff for their above and beyond attitude and performance. Our cooperative spirit, energized leadership and dynamic, focused business community will continue to serve us well this year and tomorrow.

focus on the future

The Metroplex is an economy of innovation.

A producer of high-value goods and services,
D/FW is a center for transportation, communications, distribution and marketingcore economic
strengths that can be leveraged for new growth.
Dallas/Fort Worth today ranks as the largest
metro area in Texas, with some 5.5 million residents. As the nations ninth largest metro and
larger than 31 states, D/FW continues to build on
its surging growth of the 1990s, when population
surged by 1.2 million.

Only New York and Los Angeles, with base populations several times larger, added more residents
than D/FW in the 1990s. In both the 80s and the
90s, growth topped one million new residents in
the region. Forecasts call for population growth to
top one million again in this decade.

D/FW produces
33%one thirdof
all the goods and
services in Texas.

Metro Area

D/FW

No metro area added more new jobs in the 90s

than D/FW. With 760,000 new jobs gained from
1990 to 2000, Dallas/Fort Worth easily surpassed
all other urban areas of the United States. Todays
local workforce now totals 3 million.

2000-2010*

*projected

More importantly, recent growth created a

younger and more diverse population. Todays
median age of D/FW residents is more than three
years younger than the U.S. average. The region
continues to add population despite a at economy and job losses in the past two years.

With 25 percent of the states population and 28

percent of the labor force, D/FW produces 33%
one thirdof all the goods and services in Texas.
The region outranks 37 states and all but 19 of
the worlds nations in total output. Seventeen
Fortune 500 headquarters call D/FW home, ranking sixth among U.S. metros.

D/FW has one of the nations most diverse

economies, with between 5 and 30 percent of the
workforce in major industrial sectors. Diversity
allows the region to weather even the toughest
downturns. Currently, many losses in three important industriestechnology, transportation and
tourismare largely offset by gains in healthcare
and education.
Dallas ranks second and Fort Worth fth as the
best places for entrepreneurs in 2002, according
to Entrepreneur Magazine. Eight Global 500 headquarters are located here. The Dallas area
remains one of the ve most attractive labor markets to businesses large and small.

The region is
well-situated for
expansion, and
has a track record
of growth.

Todays economic challenges become less daunting in light of recent history and the regions
strengths. Since the start of this decade, D/FW
has fallen from nearly 3.8 percent annual job
growth to job losses and at performance over
the past two years. This mirrors the start of the
90s, which became the roaring 90s the
decade of the greatest expansion on record.

D/FW enters 2003 in excellent shape. The region

is one of the largest, most diverse and most competitive economies anywhere. It is well situated for
expansion into international markets, and has a
strong track record of growth.

Trade Growth, Dallas/Fort Worth

The local economy is slowly picking up steam,
and is forecast to move into positive territory this
year, with full recovery expected in 2004.
Employment is expected to grow less than two
percent this year, and above two percent in 2004
and beyond.
Friendly to business and exible economically,
D/FW has always known how to grow.

efforts across the region and nationally.

The D/FW brand is

already appearing
regionally and
nationally.

The
brand
communicates a
single unifying message: to the
