(Large counties are defined as those with employment of 75,000 or more as measured by 2010 annual average employment; comparable data for Brazos County were unavailable.) Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that three Texas counties ranked in the top ten for job growth nationwide. Montgomery County's 4.8-percent gain led the state and tied for the 2nd fastest growth in the nation. Also sharing top-ten national rankings were the Texas counties of Webb (4.4 percent, tied for 5th) and Fort Bend (4.2 percent, tied for 8th). (See table 1.)
