Texans looking to begin a new career or find a new job in the energy industry should consider attending the Texas Natural Gas Summit and Job Fair in Austin on October 23, 2014. 

The event is hosted by the Railroad Commission of Texas and will "showcase companies that are creating good jobs by increasing the use of Texas natural gas to fuel vehicles and oilfield equipment. Last year oil and gas jobs grew nearly 5 percent statewide and helped Texas lead the nation in job creation. These jobs pay well. The average oil and natural gas worker earns about $107,000 a year."

For more information on the event visit the RRC Commission site or read the event flyer:
