From the Midwest to the Pacific, job seekers are heading to Texas

'If you had to ride out this downturn, there is no better place than Texas. The declines here have been nothing compared to other states.’

Across the nation, unemployment is sky-high, the housing market is sucking wind and recessionary fears have frozen Americans in place.

Just don’t tell that to a stream of new residents who are "voting with their feet" that Texas is the safest place to ride out the storm and the place to be when the economy recovers.

Even in the midst of a recession, economists, demographers and relocation experts believe the Lone Star State is on the cusp of becoming The New California.

Or maybe it already is.

For people seeking economic opportunity, Texas is becoming what California has been since the Great Depression, says Los Angeles urbanist and author Joel Kotkin. Texas recently "ran the table" in a recent list of "Best Cities for Jobs" prepared by Kotkin for New Geography and Forbes. Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth and Dallas were ranked as the top five large metro areas in the country to find a job. If that weren’t enough to get the moving van loaded, McAllen and Odessa top the mid-sized and small city categories, respectively. Among 333 metropolitan areas, Texas has a remarkable 20 in the top 100.

What has the state of Washington done? What has your state accomplished? You have Microsoft, I will give you that. Microsoft dominates. What else does Washington do?

But the best of all Washington State has fewer cons living there.

Salmon? Are you serious? No wonder the Supersonics left... the best your state has to offer is Salmon? I now realize I was being kind not ripping more on my Freshman year roommate who was from Tacoma.

There's not even any comparison between Washington and Texas. The literacy rate alone is proof of that.

Yeah, you take one look at the women in Texas and then the women in Washington and its not much of a competition.

And calling out literacy rates in a place like Texas has strong undercurrents of racism there.

Yeah, I hate rednecks.

The fact is Seattle is among the most highly educated cities in the country. Texas is... well... not.
 
Seriously, look up the stats. There are very few cities with a higher percentage of the population having college degrees than Seattle. Nothing in Texas even comes close.

And what the heck are you talking about me being a liar? I gave you a picture showing you precisely what the tags are for this thread.
 
I suspect Grind had something to do with that. And I second everything Ib1 just said. I was just in Seattle today, getting sunburned and watching the Mariners beat the Red Sox (hell yeeeah!). Awesome city!
