Another great reason to stay away from Texas. Anywhere good for business is generally bad for people that don't have the money to play.

It's not a surprise
How much of that 125k jobs is from the private sector?
The reason I ask is because in 2009 the private sector lost 14,000 jobs in Texas, but added 156,000 government sector jobs. The money comes from the private sector to pay for these inefficient government jobs. 14k less private jobs to pay for 156k more public jobs.

In May 2010, Texas created 44,000 jobs, all in the private sector because the public sector lost 1,000 jobs this month.
Texas is a private sector state.

In California, for example, 27,000 created this month, but 29,000 from the public sector

It's been this way for years and the #1 state for big oil contributions.
