| Texas initial unemployment claims fall for fifth straight week | Texas initial unemployment claims fall for fifth straight week | https://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=24374 | 2020-05-29T05:00:00Z | 2020-05-29T13:00:00Z | COLLEGE STATION – In the week ending May 13, over 122,400 initial unemployment insurance claims were filed in Texas. That brings the total since March 21 to 2.2 million, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
Unemployment claims fell for the fifth straight week after rebounding on April 18.
"The number of initial claims continue to fall steadily, although the numbers are still worrisome," said Real Estate Center Research Economist Dr. Luis Torres.
Using data from the DOL and the Employment and Training Administration, the Center estimates that from March 21 to May 16 nearly 468,000 seasonally adjusted claims were filed in Dallas-Fort Worth. That is the highest of Texas' major metros.
In Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, an estimated 457,600, 147,600, and 136,600 claims were filed during that time, respectively.
Along the border, an estimated 49,600, 49,200, 22,200, and 13,800 claims were filed in McAllen, El Paso, Brownsville, and Laredo, respectively.
From March 21 to May 16, over 10,300 unemployment claims were filed in College Station-Bryan.
Accommodation and food services, administrative/support/waste management/remediation services, and retail trade represented the sectors with the biggest unemployment claims.
Last month, around 1.05 million Texans left the workforce. "This has implications for the unemployment rate and future growth potential," said Torres.
Nationwide, 40.7 million unemployment claims have been filed since March 21.

| Texas specialty crop sector hit hard by pandemic | Texas specialty crop sector hit hard by pandemic | https://www.recenter.tamu.edu/news/newstalk-texas/?Item=24373 | 2020-05-28T05:00:00Z | 2020-05-28T19:00:00Z | COLLEGE STATION – The specialty crop sector in Texas—consisting primarily of fruits and vegetables—has been one of the agricultural sectors hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service economists.
According to a report from the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC), if the pandemic persists, Texas fruit and vegetable producers could be left without outlets for their highly perishable products and ultimately lose more than $397 million. Typically, a large fruit and vegetable producer sells about 40 percent of its product to retail grocers, another 40 percent to restaurants and food-service outlets, and the remaining 20 percent to other outlets.
“As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the closure of most restaurants and schools has caused a major reduction in demand for produce," said AgriLife Economist and AFPC Co-Director Joe Outlaw. “The pandemic has also caused significant disruptions to the supply chain and agricultural systems." Many grocery stores have significantly reduced the variety of items they stock.
Fruit and vegetable producers in South Texas have experienced anywhere between a 20 percent to 50 percent reduction in sales. Additionally, imports of fruits and vegetables from Mexico went down 18 percent in April, indicating low demand for both domestic and imported produce.
Additionally, South Texas' labor shortage has only worsened due to the pandemic, especially as labor is diverted to cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing. Some producers have experienced up to a 50 percent reduction in harvesting crews. While growing conditions in the state's Winter Garden area bode well for most crops already in the ground, pandemic factors will likely continue to affect producer profitability for some time to come.
