Texas Labor Market Snapshot – Q3 2025
Texas added 8,700 new non-farm jobs in July, bringing statewide employment to 14.3 million and keeping unemployment steady at 4.0%.
Competition for talent remains fierce. Job openings are down slightly, meaning employers need to move fast to secure great candidates.
