Texas continues to fare better than the rest of the nation and even noted a decline in its seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for the month of November, the Texas Workforce Commission said in a new report. The Texas unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8 percent in November as total non-agricultural employment in the state grew by 17,300 positions. In the past two months, the state has added close to 70,000 jobs, the commission said. Compared to the rest of the nation, Texas unemployment figures are sitting in more optimistic territory.
