That\u2019s a 1.17% increase.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Private education and health services remained the largest sector in the McAllen metro, with 98,000 jobs. It also grew the fastest over the year, up 3.5% in May. That was followed by the information sector \u2014 which includes jobs in the technology industry. That sector was up 2.8% in May for a total of 3,400 jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industry that saw the largest decline was professional and business services, which dropped by 4.42% to 23,800 jobs.

Between 2021 and 2023, the McAllen metro added jobs at a rate of 3% to 5%. In 2024, it slowed to 2%, and in 2025, it dropped even further to 1.82%.

It was followed by financial activities, which declined by 1.69% to 5,800 jobs in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal government jobs there grew the fastest, by 14.29% in one year, to 3,200 jobs. The manufacturing sector followed with an increase of 7.46% to 6,200 jobs; then mining, logging, and construction recorded 3,600 jobs in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The private education and health services sector remained the largest employer in the Brownsville Metro, with 46,800 jobs.
