The state of Texas added about 32,500 nonfarm payroll jobs in April. According to data from the Texas Workforce Commission, the state has gained nearly 100,000 jobs since the new year. 

The job additions are significant given that the state lost about 350,000 jobs in 2009. Despite the increase in jobs, the Texas unemployment rate increased to 8.3 percent, compared with the national average of 9.9 percent.
