Unemployment in Texas rose moderately in July, suggesting that Hurricane Beryl had a minor impact on the labor market and confirming the sharp slowdown in U.S. job growth last month. The Labor Department's state employment and unemployment report on Friday showed the jobless rate in Texas, which was slammed by Beryl in the second week of July, rose to 4.1% last month from 4.0% in June. There had been speculation that Beryl was a significant factor in the small rise in nonfarm payrolls in July and surge in the national jobless rate to near a three-year high of 4.3%.
