Hey move to Texas where we have created more jobs than the rest of the 49 states combined.

Well our governor will be in the White House if you don't hurry though.

Are you counting illegal immigration as "jobs" again?

The data indicates nothing of the kind.
Furthermore, Texas has relatively high unemployment
for itself (2010 with error bars going back to 1976
for comparison)

So should we give the Democratic Governors of Texas in the '70s and '80s credit for the oil boom jobs? I think not. Jobs are going to be created in Texas regardless of who is in office, thanks to Texas' location, natural resources, power grid, the history of corporations in Texas, the many universities of Texas, and other factors that have nothing to do with the governor.

The jobs thing is funny. I saw somebody praising Electronic Arts for hiring more people in Austin and Perry was in front of the camera trying to take credit. Electronic Arts was the same company that bought up some Austin game companies and moved them to California back in the 1990s and early '00s.
