The economy in Houston, Texas is booming if compared to many other depressed economies across the country. One of the main reason for this booming economy is that the largest refineries business in the country are based in Houston. Therefore there are many job opportunities waiting to be filled by local companies. Many of these companies are playing a support role to the large Oil industry in Texas. A common denominator is that many of these companies in Houston are supplying goods to the refineries thus Warehouse and Logistics roles are one of the leading jobs opening in the local area. One of the most desirable skills for a Warehouse Operator is to have the proper Forklift Training.
