Texas adds 22,700 jobs in February, jobless rate dips to 8.2 percent

Texas continued to add jobs in February — just not as quickly as it seemed to be doing in January.
State employers expanded payrolls by 22,700 jobs in February, and the Texas unemployment rate edged down to 8.2 percent from 8.3 percent the month before, the Texas Workforce Commission said Friday.

Pilgrim's Pride to shutter East Texas headquarters, cut 160 jobs

Robinson-Jacobs reports:

Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. said early Monday it will shutter its East Texas world headquarters office, eliminating nearly 160 jobs, within the next 60 days and will move its corporate functions to Colorado.

The announcement, feared by many in the communities of Pittsburg and Mt. Pleasant, comes as part of Pilgrim’s Pride’s continued integration into JBS USA which is based in Greeley, Colo. Pilgrim’s, one of the largest chicken processors in the U.S., sold a 64 percent stake in the company to JBS to hasten its exit from bankruptcy last year.
