Houston, the 4th largest city in the U.S., offers a strong professional and personal environment. The two largest economic sectors are energy and medical research and services. There also are numerous large manufacturing and technology businesses, many of them spawned by decades of NASA operations in the Houston area. Four out of five jobs are service and professional jobs. The cost of living supports a high quality of life, where one can have suburban living in the heart of a great metropolis.
