The study, conducted by Angelou Economic Advisors of Austin, is due later this month or early July, Phil Brewer of the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce, tells GlobeSt.com. The study is sponsored by the city of Round Rock and the chamber.

Brewer says the city had decided to update its 1995 study, also conducted by Angelou, after a trip to bond rating agencies in New York last year. The bond raters told Round Rock representatives that its economy seemed to be too dependent on Dell Computer Corp.

Dell, the world's biggest personal computer company, is the biggest employer in Round Rock and all of Central Texas. Brewer estimates there are about 10,000 Dell jobs in Round Rock and another 10,000 in Austin, depending on where Dell's job cuts fall.
