More people are returning to work after the height of the pandemic. Angela Woellner said that in April 2020, Texas' labor force participation rate was 59.8%, compared to 63.8% this June.
More people quit their jobs in 2021 than any year on record. Was this a result of the pandemic or a bigger shift in the workplace?
Texas added 82,500 nonfarm jobs in June, the Texas Workforce Commission reported. This is the largest numerical increase in the nation for June. , Texas led the nation in June job gains, followed by Tennessee and Florida. The largest percentage increase in jobs, however, was in Tennessee , compared to 0.6% in Texas.Texas' high job gains are partially due to increased demand. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer people went on vacations, visited restaurants and had elective medical procedures, said Angela Woellner, the press officer for the TWC.
As people return to "normal" activities, more jobs are needed to serve them. And more people are moving to Texas, Woellner said, citing a population increase of "more than 1 million people from June 2019 to June 2022." , the population of Texas as of July 1, 2021, was roughly 29.5 million people. As more people move to Texas, businesses are expanding and hiring more employees to meet increasing demand, Woellner explained.
