Living where the unemployment rate is more than double that (12.6% last month), I dare say that 6% looks like paradise.

Any idea if apple is relocating from CA to Austin, TX?

Because if so, we all know that the 3600+/- jobs that need to be hired will be full-filled by CA residents relocating here to Austin..... just saying........

Another great day at the COA! But, please note this quote in the statesman.

"Austin's job growth is being led by bartenders and bellhops" Yet more of the misleading facts of the COA to get people to move here.

While the city did offer $8M in incentives to Apple for their operations center, don't forget that the state offered $21M and the county put in $6M.

So to be technically correct, you should be pointing out a "State of Texas, city of Austin, and Travis county" conspiracy to get people to move here. Not just the CoA.

See, now you have 3 entities to blame! And they are indeed working together, so it even fits the conspiracy bill for you. How convenient is that?
