In July 2011, the Texas foreclosure rate was one in every 920 mortgages.
This was substantially better than Nevada’s one in 115, California’s one in 239, Arizona’s one in 273, and Utah’s one in 373.

It may come as a real shock to you but employers generally speaking do not love to share their wealth with their employees...
Couple that with the infusion of millions of illegal Mexicans willing to work, cheap, and our manufacturing base having left for China, there will be no dominant economic force in our near future...
What are small businesses going to sell to employees who make 2 bucks an hour???
Lifes tough. Get creative...Start a business doing something you love or like.
Never get fired again but get fired up about controlling your life and destiny.
Having to rely on a paycheck is abject slavery as is putting up with intellectually fallow who work with you and decide whether or not you will stay for another pay check.
Fire your boss.
Stop selling yourself on a job and start selling yourself on your life.
Become a distributor for:
Amway
ACN
Mary Kay
Avon
Etc.
Get a real estate license and excel at helping others. What? Selling real estate at this time? Hell yeah. In any county in America and at any time only 10% of the real agents are actually working at being a Professional Salesman.
80% of the licensed agents have a hobby and hope for a sale which only comes once in a while.
10% are salesmen who make good money, live in good neighborhoods and take pretty good vacations.
The top 10% excel at being Professional Sales People and a trusted adviser to those who are truly looking for a highly competent leader.
Guess what? The pay for a Professional Sales Person is extremely good. But it is hard work. Very hard work.
You have to distinguish yourself from all others and always pursue excellence.
Don’t like the choice so far?
Try cleaning houses, mowing lawns or be a handy man. There are plenty of people who are looking for someone to do those jobs.
But, whatever you do...do it with excellence. It’s harder than all the other competitors will do but you will have a better relationship with your customers.
Above all, be a person who is in the business of helping others achieve and expected outcome.
Help people get pleasure and avoid pain.
Just try something and stop imprinting your mind that a job is the only future you have.
Share their wealth? I've heard that mantra from the likes of socialist Huey Long (Upton Sinclair as well) and "spread the wealth" from the evil Marxist usurper now (temporarily) occupying the office of the President.
Under what legal or moral authority is any employer obligated to share their wealth? Moreover, the minimum wage violates worker liberty since it prevents the worker from setting his wage without government restriction.
It was 1938's Fair Labor Standards Act that mandated the minimum wage. That act was signed by Franklin Roosevelt, a vile man who reshaped America into his socialist (albeit with a haughty patrician air) mold. It's the punitive minimum wage law along with the stranglehold of regulations that killed the manufacturing base in our country. Companies had no choice but to flee elsewhere to escape the stifling anti-business environment put into place by leftists.
I contend that the minimum wage is contrary in every way to constitutional Conservatism and America's Capitalist system. Abolish the scourge of minimum wage and eliminate forced unionism and American Exceptionalism will be restored.
All positive advise. However, I refuse for a second to look at our Country in it’s current situation and accept this is as good as we can do. My hope isn’t for an America with a future of a poorer life style.
I don’t hold the many people who have been affected by this economy responsible. I hold Government responsible. Yet, this same Government (with it’s media) seems happy when the official unemployment number drops from 9.2% to 9.1%, failing to further disclose the quality of jobs the majority is forced to accept.
Your example of real estate sales is a textbook example of how Government is responsible. Dodd-Frank has effectively shut down the availability of real estate financing. Without financing, real estate sales have dried up, meaning even fewer people acting as real estate agents are able to earn a living.
Life is tough, but Government shouldn’t be actively making it tougher.
There's not a font big enough to express my sentiments about your excellent and well-phrased post. I hope this suffices:
No one owes anyone a job. Oddly enough this very point was articulated by none other than MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Friday night during a rare moment of lucidity. He actually said that politicians need to quit talking about creating jobs as if a job is a right. Yes, that Chris ("thrill up a leg") Matthews! Stunning.
I'm with you, Vendome. There's always work to be done and someone will always be willing to pay for it. If need be, discover what dirty, sticking, nasty work your neighbor loathes and then make him an offer to do it. I've been there and done that, undercutting the minimum wage and doing such tasks with a smile and with excellence.
And sales is always a golden opportunity for someone with gumption, drive and boundless optimism. Every door slammed in your face is one step closer to a willing customer eager to pay for your product of service. I can't help but mention the inspiring film, Door to Door, based on the real-life experience of Bill Porter, who in spite of being born with cerebral palsy, was able to excel in selling products after walking in pain for 8-10 miles a day.
Never saw that movie.
I will rent tonight and watch.
Thanks.
You are right about the government.
Frank-Dodd and SOX should be repealed.
The requirement to put down 20% for a loan should be a business decision that weighs risk. As it should be also for the banker who loans on zero down/stated income paper.
The government should get the hell out of the way.
Increase the taxpayer base.
Reduce taxes to a fixed amount across all income levels.
Decrease or remove the Capital Gains tax.
Fix the depreciation schedule to allow businesses to fully depreciate in a single year. This mumbo jumbo of depreciation over 5 years is stoopid.
Tell China so pound sand and start tariffing them at appropriate levels forcing manufacturing back to the US and to other Asia countries, maybe even So. America. Same with Japan and Korea. Those frickin loonatics are one way traders and that needs to end.
Finally, reduce the amount of compliance procedures. Shrink the EPA or scrap it all together. Same with NLRB.
These effing bureaucrats are doing nothing more than justifying their jobs at the expense of Americans and American jobs.
Do those things and in one year there will be a demonstrable improvement in the economy and job creation.
Good enough for me! go Rick go! kick that communist butt right out of there! I will help.
Texas wages are also pulled down by a large illegal immigrant community. That there is any official job growth despite a very large black market economy is amazing, especially when both illegal immigrants and Americans move here from all over the continent.
At the risk of divulging trade secrets, even as a confirmed Governor Palin supporter, the idea of a pro-jobs candidacy with the record to back it up - is darn powerful.
If Palin gets in this race, this looming contest could turn out to be EXACTLY what this country needs:
A well-fought, patriotic, spirited clash of competing good ideas.
Maine is a right to work state
There is a lot to be said about low entry low paying jobs. They are a good start. They teach people how to work. They teach value and for some, they are easy enough to do so the individual can succeed.
Texas leads the nation in minimum-wage jobs, and many positions don’t offer health benefits. Also, steep budget cuts are expected to result in the loss of more than 100,000 jobs.
_____________________________________________________
100,000 state jobs? Also Hope and Change can’t even create minimun wage jobs. Like I said I am neither Pro or Anti Perry, however compared to Romneycare, Newt who still thinks it is 1994, what are you planning on doing. Ron Paul is unelectable as long as the press continues to say so...
Oh crap you are from California...business is leaving your state in groves, your state pension program is broke, and your governor is called moonbeam. Right Perry sucks...
Yeah in groves...lol
your governor is called moonbeam. Right Perry sucks.
Thanks for that breaking news. But Brown isn't running for POTUS.
But you're right, Perry sucks as I don't support candidates and anyone who panders and aid and abets millions of illegal aliens, while forcing you and me to pay for it.
Thanks for playing.
Wish it was a game friend. Perry is not my choice, but to deny that Texas leads the nation in job creation is like denying that people are leaving California in groves!
What does the economy have to do with a government politician pandering and aiding and abetting a violent, country killing, lawless invasion of millions?
