Texas continues to dominate as the top job-creating state in the U.S., marking its third consecutive year of leading in employment growth. According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Texas added 284,200 nonfarm jobs between December 2023 and December 2024—more than any other state. This remarkable achievement underscores the strength of Texas’ economy and its commitment to fostering job opportunities.
Business-Friendly Policies Drive Growth
Governor Greg Abbott attributed the state’s sustained success to its business-friendly environment, which encourages entrepreneurship and innovation. “Texas offers businesses the freedom to succeed and hardworking Texans the tools to prosper,” the Governor stated. He emphasized that the state’s focus on education excellence and career training has fueled this growth, ensuring that businesses have access to a well-prepared workforce.
Texas has positioned itself as a hub for economic opportunity by prioritizing policies that attract investment and create jobs. Key sectors like technology, manufacturing, and energy have flourished in the state, benefiting from low taxes, minimal regulation, and an emphasis on workforce development.
Job: Record-Breaking Employment Numbers
In addition to leading in job creation, Texas achieved record highs in total employment, the number of Texans in the workforce, and the overall size of its labor force. These milestones reflect the state’s resilience and adaptability in an evolving economic landscape.
Looking forward, Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature plan to build on this momentum by expanding initiatives that strengthen workforce pipelines. Their goals include improving education systems, enhancing vocational training programs, and maintaining policies that ensure a competitive edge in attracting businesses.
“By unleashing the power of entrepreneurs and innovators, Texas will remain the national leader in job creation and fuel America’s jobs engine,” Governor Abbott concluded.
With these efforts, Texas aims to not only sustain its current trajectory but also set the stage for continued economic growth and leadership in the years to come.
