Austin area hottest in U.S. for job seekers
The Austin metro area - by one recent measure the hottest market in the country for job seekers - didn’t disappoint in July, with the unemployment rate slipping to 3.1 percent even as thousands of new workers have moved into the region over the past year. The local jobless rate fell to its lowest non-seasonally adjusted rate for the month of July since 1999, when it came in at 2.4 percent, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. That continues this year’s trend of near two-decade lows in the metro area’s monthly unemployment numbers.
