As a result, more people are unemployed in Texas today 1,036,563 than were unemployed when Perry took office 442,929. That means Texas unemployment rate, while still below the national average, nearly has doubled under Perrys leadership: 8.1 percent today, up from 4.2 percent when Perry took office.
