Texas Jobs

Hyperbole or fact? What's the real story about Rick Perry and the record of Texas job creation? Is the state really  holding up the nation with regard to jobs or is it all just campaign rhetoric?

Here is a pretty objective summary with some hard data on what has happened over the last decade.

WSJ on Texas Job Situation

That looks pretty good to me.

There was a post cited on Instapundit yesterday or the day before from Megan McArdle which basically said Perry shouldn't take credit for the economy in the State because he has little power to influence it. In my mind, that's exactly WHY he should take credit for it.
"Look, if we just butt out, the economy driven by the best interests of business will take care of itself."
