About those jobs and the Texas economy..........

[Jim Warren]

whelp, seems they're gubmint jobs while private sector jobs have taken a hit!



Though Texas has lost its fair share of jobs in the private sector, it's added a huge number of government jobs.

Texas and the government are chummier than you'd think.

At least better than you’d think listening to Gov Perry’s anti-government rhetoric. When he announced his candidacy for President the other day, he growled that his goal as president would be to make Washington “as inconsequential in your lives as I can.”

Except when it comes to job creation. Over the last few years, government jobs have been awfully consequential in Texas: 47% of all government jobs added in the US between 2007 and 2010 were added in Texas.

“Turns out Texas was the state that depended the most on those very federal stimulus funds to plug nearly 97% of its shortfall for fiscal 2010, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.”
