How Texas’ Annual Unemployment Rate Compares to the Nation

What to Know: Unemployment rates in states across the nation have plummeted since their highs during the shutdowns in response to the pandemic in 2020. Texas’ unemployment rate is better than many states, but still much higher than its low from before the pandemic.

The TPPF Take: These are solid improvements, but pro-growth policies are needed to continue finding paths for people to flourish.

“The path forward should include pro-growth policies that look more like the policies that supported historic prosperity from 2017 to 2019, rather than the anti-growth, big-government policies of the more than $12 trillion in spending either authorized or proposed by Congress since the pandemic started and the massive tax hikes by Democrats in Congress and the Biden administration,” says TPPF’s Vance Ginn.
