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," TWC Commissioner Julian Alvarez said in a statement. The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased by 4.6 percent in November, a slight decrease compared to October. The Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area, or MSA, recorded the month's lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 3 percent, according to the report. The civilian labor force increased by 25,200 workers between November 2015 and November 2016 and by 8,300 workers from October to 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 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.
