Unemployment for NOV edged slightly upward to 3.6% from OCT's 3.5%. However, this is the 8th month in a row that unemployment has remained this low.
Happy Holiday of Hiring! Houston-area retail operations posted strong hiring in November, staffing up both sales floor and logistics personnel in preparation for holiday shopping. #JobsReport #Houston #Shopping #Jobs #ChristmasHolidays @TXWorkforce @WorkforceEcon
This is the first time there has been zero net job growth in August since 1990. Very out of character. @cltomlinson @Florian_News887 @TomZizkaFox26
Houston-area employers added & subtracted equal number of jobs in August, meaning the region saw zero job growth to finish out the summer. @abc13houston @KHOU @KPRC2 @FOX26Houston @CW39Houston @TelemundoHou @noticiashouston @houpublicradio @WorkforceEcon
Year-over-year, #Employment in the Business & Professional Services sector are up 24,100, the highest 1-year growth since April 2013. Prior to this, #jobs growth in this sector had remained stagnant since June 2017 #Houston

This is the second month in a row there's been strong #jobgrowth in Leisure & Hospitality. This could be a sign that these businesses believe consumer have more disposable income and will eat out more this summer. #Houston #employment
#Houston unemployment hits record low 3.2% in April after employers added 17,500 jobs. More: wrksolutions.com/localstats @WorkforceEcon @TXWorkforce
While overall a positive report, #February's report should be looked at with caution due to seasonal factors. The #Manufacturing sector also saw growth adding 5,200 jobs, which is substantially above the long-term average.
#ICYMI Houston-area employers, primarily in government, professional, and manufacturing sectors, added 26,900 jobs in February and the #unemployment rate fell to 4.2% MORE: wrksolutions.com/localstats
Thanks @HoustonChron for including me in the recent article about Houston's #supermarket #jobs performance in 2018. Check it out here > houstonchronicle.com/business/artic…
#manufacturing sector's growth, specifically in durable goods sub-sector, could indicate #oilandgas firms are placing orders for new or replacement parts & equipment. #Construction jobs fell 4,900 in DEC, likely linked to #oilprice drop in the fall
Quiet December for employment growth with just 3,700 #Jobs added in the #Houston area. More: wrksolutions.com/for-employers/…
Despite the overall drop of 18,500 jobs in July, #Houston's #job market is the strongest it's ever been.
#HurricaneHarvey continues to impact the #Houston area nearly a year after making landfall. Employment in the Construction Sector continues to rise as recovery efforts remain ongoing. @WorkforceEcon @TXWorkforce
#Houston as has added 96,400 jobs since June '17. The last time the Houston area saw year-over-year growth in excess of 90K jobs was March 2015 during initial stages of the most recent downturn.
#Houston area employers extended hiring spree in June; Business & Professional services accounted for nearly 60% of new jobs. @WorkforceEcon MORE: wrksolutions.com/for-employers/…
#March is typically a good month for #business and #professional services, but this was substantially above the long-term average @Florian_News887 @HPMNews887

Historically, the #Houston area sees about 44,000 #Jobs lost in January, so this is not out of the ordinary. Important note: @BLS_gov introduces a statistical fix to account for population changes, further skewing the numbers.
January's #job losses in the #Houston area is not unexpected and are in-line with long-term averages @WorkforceEcon @cltomlinson @HoustonChron @abc13houston @Fox26Houston @KPRC2 @KHOU @CollinEatonHC @Florian_News887 @HOUBizJournal @ktrhnews
