America's next economic powerhouse takes shape in Texas as companies abandon the Bay Area in California. A new report shows Texas attracted 230 corporate relocations between 2018 and 2025, with Dallas, Austin and Houston leading the charge. Meanwhile, California suffered the nation's steepest corporate losses, with more than 160 companies moving their headquarters out of the San Francisco Bay Area, citing taxes, labor regulations and soaring costs.

"Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens." Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York: "Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment." "When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas." The Hill & Valley Forum 2026 @HillValleyForum @jpmorgan @ChairmanG
