Compared to states where they aren’t even seeing minumum wage jobs being created, I’d still say Texas is doing pretty good.
What is the actual average of pay for jobs created in Texas...that is what needs to be known...both the known and unkown can screw us up.
Already the MSM is cranking up the “Perry’s record isn’t THAT great” meme. The Washington Post had a similar “even handed” piece today. All designed to minimize the contrast with the absolute DISASTER that Team Obama is when it comes to jobs creation. I don’t know enough about Perry at this point to know whether he is “the one” for the Republicans, but it’s frustrating to see the MSM jump all over these candidates when they never, ever apply similar rigor to Obama’s past, present or future.
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.
