Energy companies i.e. big oil expands due to the rise in the demand/price of oil over the last number of years.. people move to Texas.. they need more burger flippers, eduction and health workers to keep pace with the population growth.. 300k of the jobs were government jobs which they are now about to start cutting due to large budget shortfalls... Guess they're not getting enough tax revenue from all those burger flippers and all the low tax rates they handed out to big business.. Funny how that works... Perry had little to do with it all really other than the 300k government jobs. Oh.. And he used the Federal Stimulus money which he spoke out about, to do some stuff as well.. He was just along for the ride for the most part. I'm sure Texas's "bubble" will burst over the next couple years.
