Lubbock is also highly diversified being the hub for the area from Amarillo to Midland, Hobbs to Sweetwater for agriculture production and research (cotton, peanuts, sorghum, wheat, watermelons, and wine grape vineyards -70-80% of TX wine grape production comes from this area-), medical care and research (two top-tier facilities in Covenant and the university hospital), manufacturing, transport (major airport), and of course Texas Tech is a huge economic driver employing many thousands and bringing tons of students in with their parents money (30k+ enrollment I believe, it's enormous).
