Review of South Texas Business Conditions
LEBERG COU NTY
After reaching a peak of 640 units in 2007, the number
of local businesses has remained stable through today.
Measured by the number of businesses across industries,
the economy of Kleberg County is well diversified. Retail
trade accounts for the most business establishments as
well as sales in the county. Although remaining relatively
small, employment in private educational services has
expanded much faster than that in other local industries.
