AUSTIN, Texas (KAUZ) – Texas led the nation in nonfarm jobs created from September of 2023 through September 2024 according to the latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the numbers are indicative of people across the nation taking note of pro-business policies in Texas.

“Texas continues to dominate as America’s jobs engine,” Gov. Abbott said. “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.”

Texas also set new state highs for number of jobs and workforce size.
