Get a load of how many cities in TEXAS are on the list !!

[Bearshouse]

I counted 9 from Texas before I noticed your comment.

Also, the ratio of Red States to Blue States looks pretty good.

[Sioux-san]

Just dang - I live in the suicidal state of MIchigan - not even with a RINO gov are we going to recover any time soon.

City of Evil ping.

Yes and the size of the cities is a little bigger in TX. I mean Achorage vs Houston, Madison vs Austin lets get real we are in a boom and they are crawling.

[Bellflower]

What has made the difference in Texas? Is it largely Perry or do other factors weigh in heavier?

[dfwgator]

Note how many of the cities are college towns?

[Theophilus]

Notice the close correlation to military/government sector jobs.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

Cumberland, Maryland is a nice looking town.

[Vigilanteman]

Nine of the 26 are in Texas. That's pretty impressive.

But three of the 26 are in tiny North Dakota. That's way more impressive.

[Repeal The 17th]

A new report commissioned by the United States Council for Mayors and prepared by IHS Global Insight shows that only 26 of 363 metropolitan statistical areas have completely recovered the jobs they lost during the recession.
