Brendan Case blogs from our Economy Watch blog about the latest employment numbers in Texas:
Texas employers expanded payrolls by 8,500 jobs in March, while the jobless rate remained unchanged at 8.2 percent for the fifth month in a row, the Texas Workforce Commission said Friday.
Government number-crunchers also made a significant revision to February's payroll employment data. Instead of losing 13,000 payrolls jobs in February, as preliminary data indicated last month, the state added 4,300 jobs.
Texas has added 32,500 jobs during the last six months, and the state unemployment rate remains well below the national average of 9.7 percent.
