Texas has created 265,300 jobs since July 2009, more than double New York and Pennslyvania, which are second and third in job creation since the supposed economic recovery began in July 2009. In fact, 37% of all jobs created since this “recovery” began have been created in Texas. Amazingly, Texas actually has more jobs now than before the recession began – 30,800 more. His name is never metioned in this report, but this is a record that Rick Perry can run on.
Rick Perry had little to do with that. As governor of Texas, he’s a talking head with a bully pulpit.
Considering the millions of low wage illegals in the state, you can bet most of them got the jobs.
