in the third quarter, which included seasonal employment losses in
July, totaled 11,300 positions, and outpaced the third quarter 2015

employment grew by 15,200 positions, and surpassed the 11,800 jobs
gained for this time last year. Government employment grew in 25

year to date employment growth of 54,100 positions. Industry
employment rose in 12 areas in September, led by the San Antonio-

Glossary of Labor Market Terms
Actual or Not Seasonally Adjusted - This term is used to describe data series
not subject to the seasonal adjustment process. In other words, the effects of
regular, or seasonal, patterns have not been removed from these series.
Civilian Labor Force (CLF) - Is that portion of the population age 16 and
older who are employed or unemployed. To be considered unemployed,
a person has to be not working but willing and able to work and actively
seeking work.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) - Is a measure of the average change over
time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer
goods and services. The CPI provides a way for consumers to compare what
the market basket of goods and services costs this month with what the same
market basket cost a month or a year ago.
Current Employment Statistics (CES) - A monthly survey of nonfarm
business establishments used to collect wage and salary employment,
workers hours, and payroll, by industry and area. It is sometimes known as
Nonagricultural Employment.
Employed (Emp) - Persons 16 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional
population who, during the reference week, (a) did any work at all (at least
1 hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business, profession, or on
their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working
but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent
because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity
or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family
or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were
seeking other jobs. Each employed person is counted only once, even if he
or she holds more than one job.
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) - The Federal/State
cooperative program which produces employment and unemployment
estimates for states and local areas. These estimates are developed by State
Employment Security Agencies in accordance with Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) definitions and procedures. Data is used for planning and budgetary
purposes as an indication of need for employment and training services
programs. Estimates are also used to allocate Federal funds.
Metropolitan Division (MD) - A Metropolitan Statistical Area which contains
a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided
into smaller groupings of counties referred to as Metropolitan Divisions.
Titles of Metropolitan Divisions are typically based on principal city names.
Texas has two Metropolitan Divisions, the Dallas-Plano-Irving MD and the
Fort Worth-Arlington MD, which combine to form the Dallas-Fort WorthArlington MSA.
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) - A geographic area that contains at
least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more population plus adjacent territory
that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core urban
area. An MSA in Texas is made up of one or more counties. The U.S. Office
of Management and Budget defines metropolitan areas according to published
standards that are applied to Census Bureau data. Texas has 25 MSAs and
two Metropolitan Divisions (MD).
Seasonally Adjusted (SA) - Seasonal adjustment removes the effects of
events that follow a more or less regular pattern each year. These adjustments
make it easier to observe the cyclical and other non-seasonal movements in
a data series.
Unemployed (Unemp) - Persons 16 years and over who had no employment
during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary
illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during
the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting
to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been
looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
Workforce Development Area (WDA) - The State of Texas is divided into
twenty-eight (28) local workforce development areas.
Happenings Around the State
Mall Construction Starts
FORT WORTH, TX (Dallas Business Journal—Candace Carlisle)—After
years of various delays, Greensboro, North Carolina-based Tanger Factory
Outlet Center Inc. started construction on a retail center that will bring more
than 80 upscale retailers to this part of the region. In all, the new outlet mall
is expected to employ more than 900 full- and part-time employees upon its
opening in 2017. The upscale outlet mall broke ground at Interstate 35W
and State Highway 114 in Fort Worth.
Tangers Outlets CEO Steven Tanger told the Dallas Business Journal, “This
will be a regional shopping destination that will have a draw from 20 to
30 miles away.” As part of the economic incentive agreement, the outlet
giant plans to invest at least $70 million to build the center and will employ
hundreds of employees. Earlier this year, Tanger had signed real estate leases
with Nike, Levi’s, Gap, Skechers, Old Navy, Express, Carter’s and Oshkosh.
Chinese Energy Company Established
EL PASO, TX (El Paso Inc.--Robert Gray)—A Chinese company that
manufactures materials for the wind power industry has established a
manufacturing operation in El Paso—its first in North America. PGTEX is the
first Chinese manufacturer to set up a major operation in El Paso. Company
spokesperson Sharon Xue told El Paso Inc. the company has invested $6.7
million in its facility in Far East El Paso and executives plan to invest an
additional $11 million over the next four years, to keep up with growth in
the renewable energy market in North America. PGTEX plans to employ
150 people in El Paso by 2020, according to Xue.
IKEA to Open New Store
GRAND PRAIRIE, TX (CBSDFW.Com)—Swedish home furnishing retailer
IKEA plans its second Dallas-area store. The new store will be located along
the eastern side of State Highway 161 just north of Interstate-20. More
than 500 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase and
another 300 workers are expected to be hired when the store opens in 2017.
“This store will provide a more convenient IKEA shopping experience for
current and potential customers throughout central and western parts of the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex who maybe live too far from IKEA Frisco,”
said Lars Petersson, IKEA U.S. president.
Manufacturer Picks Houston Location
HOUSTON, TX (Houston Business Journal--Jack Witthaus)— LyondellBasell
Industries will build a $700 million polyethylene plant at its manufacturing
complex in La Porte on the south shore of the Houston Ship Channel.
Construction is scheduled to start early next year and is slated to wrap up
around 2019. It’s expected to create up to 1,000 construction jobs and 75
permanent jobs. The plant is part of the company’s $4 billion expansion
through 2020 in the Texas and Gulf Coast regions. “This location is ideal
for this facility because of the feedstock advantage we enjoy, the ability
to ship products around the world, and most importantly, the outstanding
workforce that the Gulf Coast has to offer,” Bob Patel, LyondellBasell CEO
and chairman, said.
