Texas adds almost 48,000 jobs in October, but jobless rate stays at 8.1 percent

Texas employers expanded payrolls by 47,900 jobs in October, the most since May, but the state jobless rate remained unchanged at 8.1 percent, the Texas Workforce Commission said Friday. The October jobs gain followed three consecutive months of falling payrolls. A preliminary gain of 3,700 jobs in September was revised to a loss of 7,600, according to data released Friday. The state also lost jobs in July and August.
