Abstract

The article focuses on the stagnation of job growth in Texas, which saw only a 0.1% increase in employment in 2025, the weakest growth since 2020. This slowdown is attributed to a significant decline in migration to the state, with international immigration dropping by 48% and domestic migration stalling. Various sectors, including energy, manufacturing, and technology, experienced job losses, while construction benefited from a boom in data centers. The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas forecasts a modest job growth of 1.1% for 2026. [Extracted from the article]
