In 2018, downtown employment had grown 42% since 2012. The 2021 update shows a dip in employment in downtown for the first time since 2013.
In 2022, employers like USAA, closed their downtown offices. While COVID-19 could produce far-reaching implications for downtown in years to come, it is still unclear how it might affect downtown employment and economic impact.
