TX Jobless Claims Decline for Fourth Straight Week
Weekly initial unemployment claims in Texas fell to 41,800 in the week ending Oct. 3, bringing the total since March 21 to 3.6 million, the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M reported. This is the fourth straight week of decreases following an upward revision to the previous week’s numbers.
“Still much work needs to be done as the revision pushed up the numbers, slowing the rate of decrease with respect to previous weeks,” said Real Estate Center research economist Dr. Luis Torres.
The number of Texans who continue to claim unemployment insurance decreased the week of Sept. 26 to 807,200.
Fewer people in the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and San Antonio metros filed new unemployment claims during the week ending Sept. 26, the third straight week of improvements. New claims also fell in Laredo after increasing the previous week, the Real Estate Center reported.
