Considering the net job growth in America has been a big, fat ZERO in the last 3 years... adding 40,000 new private sector jobs in just one state is pretty dang impressive.
You are comparing the job growth in Texas to a healthy, normal economy... which we are most patently *NOT* in at this time.
Why?
Actually, make that:
'the net job growth in America for the last three years consisted of a huge drop in employment followed by three years of no job growth'.
***You are comparing the job growth in Texas to a healthy, normal economy... which we are most patently *NOT* in at this time.

You have a good point. But were talking about the *claims* being made by the Perry camp that he created jobs during this horrible economy.
In the end, that’s what he’s standing on to get elected. The reason people got so excited when he decided to run was that they believed that Perry could magically turn the economy around with the Texas model.
But a closer look shows that Texas hasn’t created more private sector jobs. If you want more illegal aliens working and more gov’t jobs popping up while the private sector gets more anemic, then Perry is your man.
