===Top employers===
Saginaw has two major railroad lines (one operated by Union Pacific and another by BNSF) running through the middle of the city; rail-served heavy industry is located along these lines. Saginaw has a prominent heavy-industrial base when compared to other suburban cities of the same size. Saginaw is known for its "train and grain" heritage, due to the presence of the railroads and two large flour mills located within the city limits. Large grain elevators (visible from miles away) are a prominent feature in the center of the city. According to Saginaw's 2018 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,<ref>[https://www.ci.saginaw.tx.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/899 City of Saginaw, Texas]</ref> the top employers in the city are:
