Washington, D.C., and 41 states currently have smaller employment bases than they did at the end of 2006, according to an On Numbers breakdown of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics? . The study predates the recession, which officially began in December 2007.
Alabama lost 5.7 percent of jobs it had in 2006, or 114,000, which ranked it 37th.
Texas and North Dakota registered the biggest five-year gains in employment.
Texas is the leader in raw numbers, adding 451,100 nonfarm jobs between November 2006 and November 2011. (The latter is the most recent month for which official figures are available.) No other state picked up more than 57,000 jobs during that span.
North Dakota?s increase of 12.7 percent is easily the biggest employment gain in percentage terms. Texas ranks second at 4.4 percent.
