Texas Gets Top Rating in MagazineBusiness Facilities Magazine

TINTON FALLS, NJ — Texas has been named Business Facilities’ 2019 State of the Year, becoming the first state to win BF’s top honor for the fourth time. The Lone Star State won the magazine’s inaugural SOTY designation in 2007; Texas was also BF’s State of the Year winner in 2012 and 2016.

“As we ring in 2020, it’s time to acknowledge that Texas has by far been the most prolific economic development success story of the decade just ended,” said BF Editor in Chief Jack Rogers. The biggest job-creating projects in Texas included Uber’s new Administrative Hub in Dallas and a $1-billion investment by Apple in metro Austin. Uber’s facility at a new office tower is expected to create 3,000 new jobs. Apple is planning to hire 5,000 new employees for its new campus in northwest Austin, the second campus the tech giant has established in the Texas capital.

GLOSSARY

CURRENT EMPLOYMENT STATISTICS

This Federal/State cooperative program produces estimates drawn from a monthly survey of nonfarm business establishments used to collect wage and salary employment, worker hours and payroll by industry and area. It counts the number of jobs, not of people.

Nonagricultural Jobs - The total number of persons on establishment payrolls employed full or part time. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment are counted in each. Data exclude proprietors, self-employed, unpaid family or volunteer workers, farm workers, and domestic workers. Government employment only covers civilian employees.

Actual or Not Seasonally Adjusted - Describes the data series not subject to the seasonal adjustment process. In other words, the effects of regular, or seasonal, patterns have not been removed from these series.

Seasonally Adjusted - The effects of regular, or seasonal, patterns of hiring or layoffs (holidays, weather, etc.) have been removed from these series. These adjustments make it easier to observe the cyclical and other non-seasonal movements in a data series.

LOCAL AREA UNEMPLOYMENT STATISTICS

This Federal/State cooperative program produces employment and unemployment estimates by place of residence.

Employed - All persons 16 years and over who, during the reference week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees, worked on their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid family workers, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were temporarily absent. Each employed person is counted only once, even if the person holds more than one job.

Unemployed - All persons aged 16 years and over who had no employment, were available for work, and had made specific efforts to find employment. Includes persons who were waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they had been laid off.

Civilian Labor Force (CLF) - All persons classified as employed or unemployed.

Unemployment Rate - The unemployed number divided by the civilian labor force number.

HELP WANTED ONLINE

The Conference Board Help Wanted OnLine® (HWOL) data series and index (July 2018=100) provides monthly measures of labor demand (advertised vacancies) at the national, regional, state, and metropolitan area levels.

Supply-Demand rate - A ratio measuring the number of unemployed persons per Help Wanted Online job openings.

INDICATORS

Initial Claims - A count of notices of unemployment received requesting a determination of eligibility for UI benefits. A person can file multiple claims.

Continued Claims - A count of claimants who have qualified for and are receiving UI benefits.

Consumer Price Index - An index of the variation in prices paid by typical consumers for retail goods and other items.

MISCELLANEOUS

Metropolitan Division (MD) - A Metropolitan Statistical Area with a population of 2.5 million which is subdivided into smaller groupings is referred to as Metropolitan Divisions (MDs).

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) - A geographic area that contains at least one urbanized center of 50,000 or more population plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core urban location. An MSA in Texas is made up of one or more counties.

Metro Area - Can refer either to a Metropolitan Statisical Area or a Metropolitan Division. Texas has 25 MSAs, including the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA which is subdivided into two MDs.

Workforce Development Area (WDA) - The State of Texas is divided into twenty-eight (28) local workforce development areas.
