Irving Unemployment Rate Continues Decline

Irving’s unemployment rate has decreased to 3.2 percent from 3.4 percent in October.  

This compares very favorably to the national and State of Texas unemployment rates of 4.6% each. 

Irving’s unemployment rate in November 2015 was 3.6%, or a 11% decline in the unemployment rate year-over-year. 

The Irving Economic Development Partnership announced earlier that for Fiscal Year 2016, the City of Irving added, or retained, more than 8,000 jobs by working successfully with 20 different companies.
