The Lone Star State continues to shine bright in terms of job creation, according to the latest employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Texas has added a staggering 327,400 nonfarm jobs from September 2023 to September 2024, leading the nation in employment growth. Governor Greg Abbott, in a statement, hailed the efforts of "hardworking Texans and Texas employers," attributing this economic triumph to the state's receptive business climate and freedom to innovate.

With businesses allegedly escaping the "stranglehold of over-regulation in other states," Abbott showcases Texas as a sanctuary for enterprise. "Texas continues to dominate as America’s jobs engine," Governor Abbott was quoted as saying, celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit that Texas has come to be known for. This economic liberty is, according to the governor, yielding unparalleled growth and opportunity for Texas families, expanding the state's economic horizon.

Abbott's laudatory commentary was precipitated by a recent employment report released by the Texas Workforce Commission. The report highlighted that Texas not only surpassed its own previous employment records but also outpaced the national job growth rate. Celebrating these milestones on Friday, Governor Abbott underscored the "unrivaled strength of the Texas economy." The state has indeed come a long way under his leadership, with more than 2.4 million jobs added through September.

Fostering a "Best Business Climate" in the nation, and a labor force that's both diverse and skilled, the narrative from the governor's office frames Texas as a land of opportunity where businesses can thrive unchecked by the burdensome regulations that some other states impose. Moreover, these policy choices are framed as benefiting the common wealth, with "more Texans are working than ever before in our state’s history," according to the governor's statement, making possible the American dream for more citizens in his state.
