[Neil Narayan]

More and more jobs are being added to the labor market as companies continue to invest in Central Texas.

In February, the Austin metro added 6,700 jobs and continued to backfill positions lost at the onset of the pandemic, according to a March 30 analysis by the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce. By the end of February, the metro had regained 75% of the 137,000 jobs cut in March and April 2020.

The Austin metro maintained its rank in February as the third-strongest labor market among the 50 largest metro areas in the country, according to the Chamber's analysis.
