The link Tempest posted is not in percentage, it's in real numbers. That's why the ones with the most jobs added are also the most populated states.
Do you understand the difference?
My point is why wouldn't a state that is so darn "business friendly" be creating jobs regardless of population? If the jobs are there, people will come. Americans are naturally peripatetic. We go where the jobs are.

So saying that they have low populations is a weak excuse for why they aren't creating jobs.

Understanding the diffence would violate the template of the left, so no, he doesn't and won't get the difference because it's agenda over reality on that side of the aisle.

"Best and Worst States To Do Business and Create Jobs"

Theories and statistics may be relevant for today, but not guaranteed accurate for a month from now or 5 years from now. Businesspersons shouldn't be making decisions based on such short-term information.

Coppell....where TGI Fridays constitutes fine dining, and you have to hit your garage door opener to tell which house belongs to you.
Clearly you have never eaten at Pan Acean.

Gotta love the surreptitious racist stuff.

Say what you mean. Being a coward in real life doesn't mean you have to be a coward on the Internet.

My own state aint that great for business supposedly, despite being a RTW state. But other things make up for that.

You have never lived in Texas, much less a place like Austin, where there has been a housing boom going on since the 80's and it hasn't really let up.

Austin is the only place in that state i'd live. And no, i've never lived in Texas, and if life continues to treat me well, i never will.

My father lives in the S.A. area in the wintertime, and comes back to Arizona to escape the humidity when the winter is over. I'll probably inherit his home should he go before i do....and i'll promptly sell it.
