San Antonio is seeing an uptick in jobs related to the Eagle Ford resource, I am a headhunter and have a few jobs to fill in oil and gas there right now. Lubbock not oil and gas, I agree with you and mispoke above

I am a headhunter focused on oil and gas jobs. Today, someone looking for a job that ways 6 figures is much more likely to find it in Houston in oil and gas then in any other US city. While Dallas lags Houston in this distinction many professionals are moving to Dallas for great job opportunities. Yes there are a lot of low paying warehouse and electronics refurbishing jobs in Texas... but at least you can live on the salary in Texas easier than you can back east or out west as well.

But to sit here and bash the state all because of a courty who refuses to enforce it's Immagration policies to absrude! Seriously, if our job market was all that bad than why is every state license plate represented in the pick line our son's school? We got people moving here from all overthe courty because we have a solid job market. We don't all buy worthless invisable paper stocks either, I invest my money in art and physical metals...neither of which is reported to some survey.
I don't think USC dislikes Texas at all. I'm not from here and I love Texas also.

What I don't like is this, "Don't like it, leave!" attitude so many Texans have. What is wrong with a difference of opinion?

Also, I don't see all these out of state plates in the Houston area everyone else in Texas claims to see. And as far as I'm concerned, Louisiana does not count.

I get sick of scapegoating the illegals. All I ever hear is "they cost x amount of money" without any sort of reference to the taxes they pay. And please, spare me the "illegals don't pay taxes" nonsense. Everyone has to live somewhere, buy clothes and a vehicle.

Oh, and by the way, who do you think encourages illegals to come to our country? Last time I checked, business owners in Texas are Republicans.
