AMARILLO, TX (KVII)-Panhandle Workforce Solutions Business Services Representative Phillip Flores says Amarillo has had a productive year for job growth.
“We just have an abundance of jobs. We’ve grown—our labor force grew by about 1,600 people over the last year. Our employment has grown over the last year. The hourly wage is a little over $25 an hour on average. I think we’re on par, though we’re a little bit behind the state of Texas. A lot of the larger cities drive those hourly wages.”
Flores adds that Amarillo’s unemployment rate continues to be one of the best in Texas…
