Job growth is on the rise in Texas, according to the most recent Texas Workforce Commission report. Across the state, an estimated 210,800 seasonally adjusted jobs have been added over the past year, with an addition of 20,900 non-farm jobs added in November.

"Texas' labor force is the backbone of its economy. It is made up of hard-working individuals who are eager to obtain the skills that our employers need," said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Julian Alvarez in a statement.

The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased by 4.6 percent in November, a slight decrease compared to October.

The Dallas-Plano-Irving metropolitan division recorded a non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.4 percent in November 2016, down from 3.8 percent November of last year, according to the report. The civilian labor force increased by 90,800 workers year-over-year and by 15,700 jobs between October and November of this year.

Statewide industry-specific numbers indicate a strong leisure and hospitality sector, with 5,700 jobs added between October and November 2016. Education and health services employment grew by 4,700 jobs in November, and the construction industry increased by 2,500 jobs.

"Private-sector employment has been very strong over the year with the overall job growth of 171,800 including 15,800 jobs added in November," TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Ruth R. Hughs said in a statement. "The fact that our state has added jobs for 19 of the last 20 months is a credit to the diversity and resilience of employers in Texas.
