Texas Dominates As America’s Jobs Engine

Governor Greg Abbott congratulated hardworking Texans and Texas employers on leading all states for jobs created over the last 12 months following the release of employment data by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Texas added 327,400 nonfarm jobs from September 2023 to September 2024 — by far the most in the nation.  

“Texas continues to dominate as America’s jobs engine,” said Governor Abbott. “America's leading businesses are fleeing the stranglehold of over-regulation in other states for the competitive business advantages found only in Texas. With the Best Business Climate in the nation and a highly skilled, diverse, and growing workforce, businesses and entrepreneurs find the freedom to innovate and grow in Texas. As a result, more Texans are working than ever before in our state’s history, expanding economic opportunity for more Texas families. Working together, we will build a bigger, better Texas for all.”
