TEXAS--National unemployment numbers took yet another jump in data released today by the federal government. While adding 175,000 jobs, the unemployment rate moved upwards to 6.7 percent. Not so in Texas, where unemployment dropped to well below the six percent level.
Texas Governor Rick Perry announced today in a written statement that Texas' unemployment fell yet again from 6.0 percent to 5.7 percent.
"Every day," Perry proudly stated, "more Texans are going to work, earning a living and supporting their families because we follow a simple recipe for job creation: we keep our taxes low, our regulations effective and predictable, our courts fair and our schools accountable."
"That's why Texas has been the national epicenter for job creation for more than a decade," Gov. Perry explained, "and today's numbers indicate we're not slowing down anytime soon. While Washington is unable to significantly move the needle on unemployment, in Texas we free job creators to pursue success, which means more good-paying jobs for more Texans."
A side note. This week to vote in the Texas primaries you had to have an ID. Despite the left claiming ID's would prevent voters from voting, more people voted in this primary than in the last state wide primary when IDs were not required. You will not hear this in the National Socialist Media. |
