Almost every state’s workforce has gone up ever since President Donald Trump’s second term. Only three states — Maine, Massachusetts, and Kansas — have lost jobs, but none of them lost more than 1% of their workforce.
Washington, D.C. was also a notable under-performer that lost 1.2% of its workers, likely due to job cuts in the government. Every other state posted gains, with Texas being the only state to add more than 100,000 jobs this year.
