Governor Greg Abbott touts Texas as America’s undisputed jobs leader for the third year in a row, with more jobs added in Texas in 2024 than in any other state. Jobs data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirms Texas added the most jobs in the nation from December 2023 to December 2024 with a gain of 284,200 nonfarm jobs, significantly ahead of all other states.
The governor said, “Texas offers businesses the freedom to succeed and hardworking Texans the tools to prosper. As a result, more Texans are working than ever before in the history of our great state.” He said, “Working with the Texas Legislature this session, we will continue this blueprint for our future and build an even stronger Texas for all.”
