Every month, after U.S. Department of Labor employment data is released, Texas’ jobs report is better than any other state’s and its job growth rate is higher than the national rate. March employment data was no different.

“The Texas labor market maintained its momentum in March to reach a 36th consecutive month of positive annual growth and once again set new record-high levels for jobs, Texans employed, and the civilian labor force,” the Texas Workforce Commission reported.

In March, Texas again surpassed all previous records it broke for having the greatest number of total jobs, the greatest number of Texans working, and the largest labor force in state history.

Texas’ seasonally adjusted total nonfarm job count increased in March again by more than 19,100 jobs, propelling Texas to reach a new record high for total jobs of 14,115,700.
