The Texas twins — Dallas and Houston — continue to set the employment pace for the nation.
The two metros have added 134,200 nonfarm jobs in the past 12 months, according to figures released Wednesday morning by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s the equivalent of 368 new jobs every day.
Dallas-Fort Worth is No. 1 in the country with an increase of 83,100 nonfarm jobs between April 2010 and the same month this year. Houston is No. 2 with a gain of 51,100.
