​​​​​​​(The Center Square) – Texas once again led the U.S. in job creation over the past 12 months, breaking the state’s all-time record for total jobs for the 11th month in a row, according to new data reported by the Texas Workforce Commission.

Texas employers added 40,000 new nonfarm jobs in September, more than double the number they added in August, after August also set a job record.

“Texas is the land of opportunity where people want to live and work – and where businesses want to invest and grow,” Gov. Greg Abbott said. “The jobs surge in Texas in September, with 40,000 new jobs added, once again shows that opportunity flourishes where the freedom to aspire is secured.”
