Where job creation is the highest in the country.
According to a Wall Street Journal article, Richard Fisher, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, using Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, found that since June 2009 37% of all net new jobs in America were created in Texas.
You want to know how that’s possible?
Fisher touts Texas’ business friendly environment, its right-to-work laws, and its “tort reform”– a $250,000 cap on punitive damages.[...]
Texas has the highest percentage of minimum wage worker in the country.
[...]
The median hourly earnings for all hourly-paid wage and salary workers in Texas stood at $11.20 per hour in 2010; nationally, the median was $12.50.
[...]
Texas also ranks number one in the percentage of residents without health insurance [...] almost 28%.
”Right-to-work” sounds good, though, doesn’t it? What that means is that you can’t be required to join a union in order to secure a job. Now how does it sound?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
