Economic Growth


“Alabama’s economy remains the envy of our region. To keep the progress going and weather this national slowdown, we need targeted tax relief that will boost our economy and give Alabamians more control over their own money.” - Governor Bob Riley

During the past five years, Alabama’s economy has experienced unprecedented growth with more than 120,000 new jobs created statewide. Just last year, Alabama announced 441 new and expanding industries which are investing an historic $6.7 billion in our state. Unemployment reached its lowest level in history in 2007 and personal incomes are rising at a rate faster than any other Southern state.

To ensure Alabama’s progress continues, Governor Riley is proposing tax relief that will target middle class families and promote small business growth.
