Texas led the nation in job growth over the past year, according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for July 2025. The state added 232,500 nonfarm jobs from July 2024 to July 2025, surpassing all other states and exceeding the national annual growth rate.
Governor Greg Abbott commented on the new employment figures: “Texas continues to be No. 1 as America’s jobs creator, proving that pro-business policies are pro-job policies,” said Governor Abbott. “To ensure Texas continues to move at the speed of business, I signed laws this year to slash red tape, invest in infrastructure, and expand career training programs. When Texas businesses are free to succeed, jobs grow and Texans thrive.”
In addition to leading in job additions, Texas set new records for total nonfarm jobs and for the number of Texans employed as announced by Governor Abbott on Friday.
