Texas posted a staffing decline of 0.7 percent. But salaries in Texas have risen every month since August 2005, said Michael Alter, president of SurePayroll of Skokie, Ill.

"The average take-home paycheck of an employee in Texas in June went up to $1,085," Alter said. "That would be a take-home income of $26,995 on an annual basis."

Nationwide, small business hiring increased in June.

SurePayroll manages 16,000 small business accounts — more than 1,000 of them in Texas. The company considers a small business one that has 100 or fewer employees.
