The Texas unemployment rate stayed at 8.2 percent in February. According to data released by the Texas Workforce Commission, Texas employers cut their payrolls by 13,000 jobs last month.
The steady rate likely indicates that the state had very little economic expansion last month. The jobless rate, however, remained below the national average of 9.7 percent in February.
