Posted Tuesday, May 16, 2023 10:00 am FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nearly 15 million hardworking Texans show up for work each day. This is the highest number of employed people in our state's history — a testament to the strength and resilience of Texans and our economy. However, while our workforce reaches new heights, the need for skilled workers is growing alongside the state's economic expansion and population growth. To address this challenge, the 88th Legislature has undertaken a workforce-focused session, introducing bipartisan bills aimed at equipping Texans with the essential skills to earn wages leading to self-sufficiency and a good quality of life.
