To put things in perspective, here is the top 4 metros in numerical job growth from November 2010 to November 2011 (For some reason, the BLS only listed 4)
Source
1. Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+87,900)
2. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+57,300)
3. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H. (+50,400)
4. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+46,100)
Although Houston has added the most jobs, the metro unemployment rate is still at 7.6% because the population growth is offsetting some of the jobs that were being added. As you said though, no other area has added more or has come close.
