The retail and wholesale trade sector represents nearly 30 percent of the wage base in
Lubbock, while the service sector comprises 28 percent, half of which is derived from
health care and education. The government sector is also strong, though it has
declined recently as the city government has become more streamlined; it represents 19.9
percent of the wage base. Sales tax rebates in February 1998 increased by 10 percent
of February 1997, indicating that is was indeed a strong season for Lubbock retailers.
Lodging tax receipts were up more than 20 percent during the same period.
