Texas has once again made its economic mark on the national scene by creating the most jobs in the nation in the last 12 months. Governor Greg Abbott was unable to contain his Texan pride as he said that the state had made great progress, gaining 274,600 nonfarm jobs between October 2023 and October 2024, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employment data. In a statement, Governor Abbott said, “Texas is where the future of America is building,” emphasizing the state’s business-friendly environment and highly qualified workforce as the main factors contributing to its prosperity.
While the Governor emphasized the continued investments in education and skills training as essential to empowering even more Texans, Abbott was quick to highlight the state’s consistent progress during an address on Friday, stating that the Lone Star State is reportedly outpacing the rest of the US in terms of the annual job growth rate in addition to setting a record high for the number of employed residents and the size of the labor force. Under Governor Abbott’s leadership, the state’s economy has been growing, adding nearly 2.4 million jobs, he said with pride.
Abbott’s administration has repeatedly reassured labor and industry leaders that Texas is committed to creating an atmosphere that supports entrepreneurship. Strong employment figures back this pledge. Ensuring the benefit of families and communities is just as important as luring companies.
