Texas employment gained 213,200 total nonagricultural jobs in 2006 for an annual growth rate of 2.2 percent. December 2006 marked 27 consecutive months of employment growth. Reviewing the Texas labor market, Professional and Business Services ranked first in job creation with a gain of 46,000 jobs in 2006 for an annual growth rate of 3.9 percent. Next was Education and Health Services with 26,100 new jobs and a 2.2 percent growth rate, closely followed by Government with 25,500 new jobs and a 1.5 percent growth rate in 2006.

Recent Southwest Economy analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas confirms that Texas non-farm employment growth is once again outpacing the nation. The state began recovering in 2003 from the 2001-2002 recession. Prior the recession, Texas had led the nation in job growth. The highest Texas job growth has been in the consolidated Goods Producing Sector, which includes Natural Resources & Mining, Construction, and Manufacturing for a total 2.5 percent job growth in 2006. Even the manufacturing sector gained jobs.
