Metro Population
El Paso’s position on the US-Mexico border makes it a critical hub for cross-border trade and manufacturing. The combined El Paso-Juárez metropolitan area of nearly 3 million people operates as an integrated manufacturing zone, with components crossing the border multiple times during production. Certified forklift operators serve both US distribution facilities and the logistics networks supporting maquiladora operations.
Fort Bliss—the Army’s second-largest installation—provides military logistics employment and economic stability. The multiple border crossings handle billions in annual trade, primarily manufactured goods from Juárez maquiladoras. Western Refining’s facility adds petrochemical handling opportunities. Bilingual operators often command premium wages, and the region’s lower cost of living offsets wage differences with larger Texas metros.
