LONESTARP3 LIVE! Opportunities in the Texas Labor Market
Opportunities in the Texas Labor Market
The expanding economy in Texas continues to demand workers. Texas achieved new record employment highs 32 times in the 35 months from October 2021 through August 2024. Predicting the occupations most in-demand in an evolving labor market is no easy task – but it is part of the mission of the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Join us for a conversation with Chairman Bryan Daniel to learn more about the TWC, the data and systems it uses to monitor the Texas Labor Market, and the education and training opportunities available to help Texans participate in our economy and enjoy a prosperous Texas.
Chairman Daniel works to promote and support the growth of Texas’ world class employers and talented workforce. In his capacity as Chairman, he advances innovative workforce and economic development strategies in collaboration with education partners, local officials, and industry leaders. Previously, Chairman Daniel led the Office of Economic Development and Tourism in Governor Abbott’s office. Prior to that, he served as the Texas State Director for Rural Development for President George Bush and as Chief Administrator for Trade and Business Development at the Texas Department of Agriculture. His weekly VLOG on YouTube will keep you up to date – and entertained – on activities from his office!
