Virgil Bierschwale Announces U.S. Senate Campaign; Launches Jobs Transparency Dashboard For Texans

Governor Abbott’s recent press release declared Texas “America’s jobs leader” with 195,600 jobs gained over the last year

JUNCTION, TX, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Virgil Bierschwale today announced his candidacy for the United States Senate from Texas and unveiled a Jobs Transparency Dashboard that will publish clear, monthly summaries of employment data from public sources for Texans. The dashboard and methodology will be available at VBSENATE.com (https://vbsenate.com).

“I’m running for the U.S. Senate to make sure Texans can see, in plain English, who is benefiting from job growth—and to help more Texans compete for those jobs,” said Virgil Bierschwale. “Our dashboard will track whether Texans’ share of job gains aligns with their share of the workforce, using the same public data everyone can verify.”

According to a recent press statement from the Office of the Texas Governor, Texas recorded job growth over the 12 months ending August 2025, alongside record highs for total jobs and labor-force size (see Governor’s news page: https://gov.texas.gov/news). The Bierschwale campaign’s dashboard will place such topline numbers next to monthly employment levels for native-born and foreign-born workers drawn from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, allowing Texans to compare shares of job gains over time.

What the Jobs Transparency Dashboard Tracks

Monthly employment levels (CPS, age 16+, not seasonally adjusted):
• Foreign-born Employment Level — BLS Series LNU02073395 (https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNU02073395)
• Native-born Employment Level — BLS Series LNU02073413 (https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNU02073413)

Share of job gains since a chosen baseline (e.g., January 2007 or 12 months ago):
• Foreign-born share of net gains = (Foreign-born gain) ÷ (Foreign-born gain + Native-born gain)
• Native-born share of net gains = (Native-born gain) ÷ (Foreign-born gain + Native-born gain)

Side-by-side context with state and federal summaries (e.g., the Governor’s monthly releases: https://gov.texas.gov/news).

“Texans deserve neutral numbers and a transparent method,” Bierschwale added. “Our goal is simple: if Texans are the backbone of the workforce, their share of new opportunities should be easy to see—and we should shape policy so they can fully participate.”
