Willy is being silly again and deleting the article I linked where you would read: Meanwhile, Texas business growth has been slowing since mid-2010, reported an Austin business newspaper. At the same time, one in every three Texas families that include at least one wage-earner remains below the federal poverty level of $22,300 per year income for a family of four. This more than doubles California's 15.3 percent 2010 rate. The difference in poverty numbers indicates that Texas features many more low-paying jobs than California, another factor depleting meaning from the difference in unemployment rates. http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/25674-debt-ridden-texas-no-longer-laughing-at-california
