And, in a listing of most abnormal, California ranked 11th, Alaska 1st.

States with the most oil. Texas tops that, Alaska is 3rd, California 4th. New Mexico 5th, interestingly (had not realized it was an oil state). North Dakota 2nd.

How many of those jobs were in Texas, I wonder?

Ah, that would be over one million jobs in Texas....with more everyday.

So still right around half. And I'm willing to bet a goodly number of them are in the oil fields in North Dakota and Colorado.

more than likely.

This reports Texas Job growth at about 229K per year. Don't know about this year so far. It must be something that those GOP politicians do (oil) that makes the economy (oil) so strong. Clearly Texas should be proud of their GOP leadership (oil) and what it (oil) has done for their economy (oil).
