"With more Texans are working than ever before, we continue to build an even bigger, bolder Texas of tomorrow.”   
Governor Greg Abbott

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas Governor Greg Abbott celebrated Texas breaking all previous records for total jobs for two years straight following the release of September employment data. The state also again surpassed all previous records for the total number of Texans working and the total size of the Texas labor force. Texas leads the nation for jobs added over the month and over the last 12 months.
 
“Texas employers added 61,400 jobs in September across diverse industries, marking 24 months in a row that the state has surpassed all previous records for total jobs. Jobs are surging in Texas thanks to the best business climate and strongest workforce in the nation,”
said Governor Abbott.

“We're America’s jobs leader because Texas moves at the speed of business, cutting red tape and getting out of the way so businesses thrive, jobs grow, and Texans prosper. That is why the Texas economy is the eighth-largest economy in the world.

"With more Texans are working than ever before, we continue to build an even bigger, bolder Texas of tomorrow.”
