Did you know that last month, in June, Texas' total nonfarm jobs hit a new record yet again? Let's take a look at the impressive numbers from the Texas Workforce Commission. In fact, over the year, Texas added 177,900 jobs with an annual growth rate of 1.2%. This means a lot when you think about the fact that the national growth rate is just 0.9%, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. That is why jobs grow in Texas and why Texas continues to lead for business investment and population growth.
