The hiring spree just keeps on going.
Despite higher interest rates and a wave of high-profile layoffs in the tech industry, the Dallas-Fort Worth job market is still expanding at a strong pace. The region added 16,900 jobs in January, the most since October, with a surge in health care hiring providing a major push.
For the 12 months that ended in January, D-FW added nearly 226,000 jobs, roughly double the average annual gains before the pandemic, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
