Well, this headline has now become my favorite from the paper of record. Do you think a house fell on their head?

"a major factor?" the entire premise is delusional. they are the factor; non-private (that is, government) employment is supposed to be incidental.

Well, this headline has now become my favorite from the paper of record. Do you think a house fell on their head? It ranks with the famous Fox Butterworth gem:
Every now and then a headline gives you a glimpse inside the mind of the media to compare with the classic of 1997, to a New York Times story, subsequently repeated with variations, by Fox Butterfield: "Crime Rates are Falling, but Prisons Keep on Filling." This gave rise to what the great James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal continues to call the Fox Butterfield fallacy — a form of obtuseness caused by liberal assumptions about the world. In this case it is the assumption that falling crime rates and rising rates of incarceration could have nothing to do with one another.

It is also a fact that Texas’ unemployment rate, currently at 8.4 percent, is the highest it has been since 1987
not one mention that illegals could account for a bunch of that number ?

Two thoughts come to mind.
First (as regards title): No s$$t, Sherlock.
Second (as regards jobs): Some jobs is better than no jobs. Or negative jobs.
How many jobs has the NYT created? (Hint: they are on the Dinosaur Media Deathwatch (R) list.
