Texas Oil and Gas Upstream Jobs Increased by 400 in April
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Workforce Commission reported a rise of 400 jobs in the upstream oil and gas sector for April 2026, marking two consecutive months of job growth since February. Total upstream employment reached 193,200, although this reflects a decline of 7,400 jobs, or 3.7%, compared to April 2025. The decrease in employment was linked to falling oil prices, but recent increases in prices and rig counts have led to a slight recovery. The Texas Oil & Gas Association emphasized the resilience of the workforce amid global uncertainties, aiming to maintain Texas's competitive edge in energy production.
