Texas’ seasonally adjusted nonagricultural employment fell by 4,100 jobs in March, following the addition of 79,600 jobs in February. Employers added 14,900 jobs across five major industries in March, but these gains were offset by the loss of 19,000 jobs in six other industries. The state’s annual growth rate continued to be positive, with 329,500 jobs added since last year.
