I take it you’re a resident of the Republic of Texas?

It looks like Texas is the only consistent job GROWTH state on that map.

You are right on both counts.

I plead guilty to being a native Texan (some of my relatives were here during the Republic of Texas, but most of them came here during Reconstruction after the last Civil War.)

And yes, Gov. “Rick” stated this week at a Tea Party that 70% of the job growth in the last 12 months in the U.S. was here in Texas.

That said, in the U.S. in the last 12 months, the job growth to loss swing was 8,000,000 jobs. Very frightening data.
