During the pandemic, many national and international-based companies moved their headquarters to the city, creating an endless stream of new job opportunities in various fields. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Dallas added over 452,000 new jobs in 2022, and currently has an unemployment rate of 4.3%, below the national average of 4.9%.
