On
March 29, 2013, The Texas Workforce Commission issued the Texas job statistics
for February 2013.

Texas
reported an unemployment rate of 6.5% compared to U.S. rate of 8.1%. The number of jobs of nonagricultural jobs was
11,119,100 of which 1,765,900 are goods producing and 9,353,200 are service
providing.
The
good employment news is not restricted to Texas. An article in The Dallas Morning News in the March 29, 2013 edition on page 1A by
Sheryl Jeans, “Texas Job s See Record Surge”, writes that the unemployment rate
fell in 22 states, unchanged in 16 states and increased in only 12 states. In addition to Texas, Nevada, California, and
Florida have significant reductions in unemployment rates.
I
think that this positive employment news should be welcomed by many discouraged
workers. For those who have given up
finding employment, I suggest that they restart their job searches.
After
rereading my Jesse James blogs, consider the following data. The unemployment rates are 3.2 in Midland,
3.8 in Odessa, and 4.6 in Amarillo.
Please

is a discouraged job seeker.
