Once again, discrimination proves to be bad for business.
Two studies from the Texas Association of Business (TAB) estimate that Texas’ economy could potentially lose $8.5 billion and nearly 200,000 jobs if lawmakers pass an anti-transgender bathroom bill or other anti-LGBT legislation.
The research is part of a Texas-based coalition called “Keep Texas Open for Business,” a group of businesses opposed to discriminatory legislation that will drive away potential talent and revenue.
