Texas employment is expected to grow by 1.5 million jobs, or 2.3 percent, during the next five years, according to IHS Global Insight.
The Lone Star State is one of six states in the nation projected to grow more than 2.1 percent between 2010 and 2016. The other states are Utah (2.7 percent), Idaho (2.4 percent), Nevada (2.4 percent), Arizona (2.3 percent) and Florida (2.2 percent).
States that will see smaller growth include Connecticut (0.9 percent), Alaska (1.1 percent) and Ohio and Michigan, both at 1.2 percent.

That's great and all, but if 300,000 people keep moving into Texas each year (as has been the trend for 3 years now), we will need 1.8 Million new jobs to support all the new residents.....

Maybe the other 300,000 will be retirees and students? Better build some schools and nursing homes, too.
