Bexar County reached full employment in December, based on the standards used by most economists.
The unemployment rate for the area fell to 3.8 percent, Workforce Solutions Alamo reported.
That was slightly higher than the 3.7 percent average for the 12-county area covered by Workforce Solutions Alamo, which includes Atascosa, Bandera, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, Medina and Wilson counties.
Unemployment in Texas falls to lowest rate in more than six years
Gillespie County had the lowest unemployment rate in December among the counties at 2.5 percent, while Bexar and Medina counties had the highest rates at 3.8 percent, which is still considered full employment.
The Texas unadjusted unemployment rate was 4.1 percent in December, down from 4.6 percent in November. The nation's unadjusted unemployment rate was 5.4 percent in December, down from 5.5 percent in November.
