Austin Employers

If Austin's large employers reflect diversity, it is the city's smaller ones that reflect the economy's dynamism. Ever since Michael Dell started selling computers from his University of Texas dorm room, thousands of talented, creative people have started businesses in Austin. The award-winning Austin Technology Incubator, the technology commercialization programs at the University of Texas' IC2 Institute, and the Central Texas Angel Network, which matches investors and promising new companies, are among the area's resources for entrepreneurial companies.

With nearly 14,000 employees, The University of Texas is the region's largest public sector employer, and Dell is the largest private sector employer with 17,000 employees. The following companies and organizations round out the largest employers in the Austin region:
