A recent study revealed that Texas experienced the country’s lowest layoff rate, highlighting strong employment stability in specific state labor markets.
The study conducted by an online HR platform Techr used the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to examine state-level layoff counts compared to workforce size as of April 2025. It identifies the states where job stability remains strong, and layoffs are least likely to affect workers.
Texas follows in eighth, recording 894 layoffs per 100,000 workers. That’s 21.4% lower than the national rate of 1,137. The Lone Star State had a workforce of 14,312,700 and saw 128,000 layoffs in April 2025.
Looking at the study, a spokesperson from Techr commented,
“The study reveals that Texas is experiencing the most employment stability relative to their workforce size.
“These low layoff rates may reflect resilient state economies, steady demand in key sectors, or effective labor policies. It’s a positive signal for job seekers and businesses alike.
“By tracking layoffs per 100,000 workers, we get a clearer picture of where job security is strongest and where models of labor strength might be studied and replicated.”
