Gray County is a county of Texas with 21,045 residents. Its economy produced $1,442 million in 2024 (ranked #130 of 254 counties) and had 7,532 jobs with an average annual pay of $60,146 (#78 for pay). The unemployment rate was 3.8% in 2026M09. It is part of the Pampa, TX micropolitan area (central county).
Gray County produced about $1,442 million of goods and services in 2024, which is 0.1% of the combined output of the 254 counties of Texas that BEA reports (about 0.1% of the state's population lives here), and ranks it 130th of 254 on that measure. Per resident that is $68,534, 25% below the state average; the average for all counties of the state taken together is $91,749. In current dollars output grew 1.9% from 2023 to 2024, before adjusting for inflation. The gap between its output rank (130th) and its output-per-resident rank (117th) shows that a few high-value industries or a small population drive the figure.
BLS counts 7,532 jobs located in Gray County on average in 2024, spread over 552 employer sites (about 14 jobs per site). That is 0.36 jobs for every resident, above the 0.34 of the typical county in Texas, which tells you whether the county is a place people mostly commute to for work or a place they commute from. The average annual pay per job was $60,146, 19% below the average of all counties in the state ($60,146 against $73,902). Average pay is total wages divided by jobs, so it is pulled up by high earners and counts part-time jobs as whole jobs; it is not the pay of a typical worker. The number of jobs rose 0.1% from 2023 to 2024.
The three largest private industries are manufacturing (27.9% of private jobs, $95,277 a year on average), retail trade (17.7% of private jobs, $35,655 a year on average), accommodation and food services (11.9% of private jobs, $19,710 a year on average). Together they hold 57.5% of private-sector jobs. Among industries with at least 3% of jobs, the best paying is wholesale trade at $99,077 a year, followed by manufacturing ($95,277). The county is specialised in an industry: manufacturing (2.4 times the US share, 1,490 jobs). A location quotient above 1 means an industry employs a larger share of workers here than in the whole country, so these are the industries where local employers compete hardest for skills. Several of the biggest employers pay well below the county average: retail trade ($35,655), accommodation and food services ($19,710). Jobs there are plentiful but the pay is lower than the headline average suggests.
In 2026M09 the unemployment rate in Gray County was 3.8%, 11% below the average of the state's counties (3.8% against 4.3%). The labour force (people working or looking for work) numbered 8,944. Over the last 12 months it ranged from 3.6% (2026M04) to 4.3% (2026M01); the latest month is preliminary and BLS revises it. These county rates are not seasonally adjusted, so compare the same month across years.
The median household income was $59,614 (ACS 2020–2024), 24% below the state median ($59,614 against $78,476). None of the largest places of the guide has this as its main county, which usually means a smaller or more rural county; the figures above still describe the whole county.
