Look at LA go.

[Cowboys fan in Houston]

Looks like theres a gap between this:

1 - Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana - 124,600 (2.4%)
2 - Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown - 118,700 (4.5%)
3 - New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island - 110,000 (1.3%)
4 - Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington - 108,900 (3.7%)

and the rest. Of course if you throw San Jose in with San Francisco together, its closer, around 86k.

Finally glad to see LA coming back!!!!

Surprised to see LA beginning to take off again. Props to my hometown. Houston is becoming such a monster....if only the city were more dense and alive, I'd move there. Dallas also. They are leaving behind Atlanta. NYC is adding alot simply because of how large it is. SF is doing better then I thought without San Jose.

New York grew as much as D.C. did and if you go by CSA, D.C./Baltimore's CSA jobs grew by more than NYC.

I think they were referring to percentage growth.
