AUSTIN — The number of jobs created in Texas during January was much less than originally estimated, the U.S. Department of Labor has said.

The department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics now says total nonagricultural employment in Texas increased by 14,800 jobs in January rather than the 30,300 figure originally released.

Employment in the professional and business services industry reflected the most significant change from data released originally. Corrected data showed an increase of 4,200 jobs in January compared with the increase of 20,900 jobs in the original release, according to the department.

The Labor Department gave no explanation on why the job creation figure was overestimated originally, but the Texas Workforce Commission said the overall unemployment rate for state in January remains unchanged.

This administration can't count votes, can't count budget deficits, can't count jobs,...

Austin, Texas and the Southwest in General are considered the frontiers of jobs creation in the USA.

The Southwest is the new frontier for young Americans—the region where those in their 20s and 30s have the best chance of establishing themselves in a recessionary economy.

Five Southwestern metropolitan areas, led by No. 1 Austin, rank among the nation’s 10 best places for young adults, according to a new Portfolio.com/bizjournals study.

I want everyone in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Assachusettes , Chicago, Washington and every other yankee sh#t hole to know that these stats about all the jobs in Texas is WRONG...

It sucks in Texas... don't come here and bring all the great things and progressive thinking that ya'll have.

We have no great pizzas

, we don't have any Broadway shows,

our beaches suck,

the hill country is brush covered granite

, the people are mean and ignorant,

we don't know how to have fun and

our women are ugly.

Everything that is great can be found within 20 miles of New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and any number of democrat controlled utopian cities...like Compton, Newark, Detroit, Philly, Camden etc...
