Governor Greg Abbott acknowledged the achievements of Texans and Texas employers after new employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was released. Over the past year, Texas has added 327,400 nonfarm jobs, leading all states in job creation.
"Texas continues to dominate as America’s jobs engine," Governor Abbott stated. He emphasized that businesses are moving to Texas to escape excessive regulation in other states, attracted by what he described as "the Best Business Climate in the nation." He credited Texas' skilled and diverse workforce for enabling businesses and entrepreneurs to innovate and expand.
Abbott noted that more Texans are employed now than at any point in the state's history, creating broader economic opportunities for families across Texas. He expressed optimism about continuing to build a "bigger, better Texas for all."
