THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Texas' unemploy

cent in June to 7.2 percent in July,
the Texas Employment Commis
sion reports.
TEC Chairman Eddie Cavazos
said Tuesday that continuing ex
pansion of high-tech industries in
the state could further bring down
the rate.
"Businesses, especially high-
tech, are locating and expanding
in Texas," he said.
"We gradually will see more
jobs created in this area, and also
we'll see job growth spurred by
schools reopening classes."
In July, the number of working
Texans rose to 8,339,400.
Employment in the transporta
tion and theme park industries
grew with an increase in summer
travelers, according to the TEC.
Meanwhile, jobs in manufac
turing declined and school staffs
were reduced for summer.
Unemployment rates increased
in Fort Worth-Arl ington,
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission and
Sherman-Denison.
Bryan-College Station had the
lowest jobless rate in both June
and July.
