The Texas economy continues to break records, with nearly 15 million people now employed, according to the latest jobs report.
Glenn Hamer, president of the Texas Association of Business, said the milestone is unsurprising given the state's consistent economic growth. Texas has seen a surge of new residents in recent years, driven by its business-friendly environment and opportunities.
To sustain this momentum, Hamer emphasized the need for legislative action to strengthen the state's infrastructure.
Texas lawmakers are being urged to prioritize infrastructure improvements during the upcoming legislative session to ensure the state can maintain its rapid expansion and accommodate its growing population.
