Texas has the: - highest personal income growth rate of any state. - highest employment growth rate of any state. - highest state-GDP growth rate of any state. - 18th lowest foreclosure rate (for comparison, here is where the other large states rank: CA, 49th; NY, 33rd; FL, 50th; IL, 43rd; PA, 19th; OH, 45th; MI, 47th; GA, 42nd; NC, 14th) All in all, quite a dump. I made the following comment yesterday and it was never published so I will attempt to share it again:

I direct readers’ attention to a recent report by the Financial Times in which it ranked which “US states are suffering the most in the current economic and financial crisis.”

Texas topped their list of states that are doing the best.

Texas has the:

- highest personal income growth rate of any state.

- highest employment growth rate of any state.

- highest state-GDP growth rate of any state.

- 18th lowest foreclosure rate (for comparison, here is where the other large states rank: CA, 49th; NY, 33rd; FL, 50th; IL, 43rd; PA, 19th; OH, 45th; MI, 47th; GA, 42nd; NC, 14th)

All in all, quite a dump.

I suggest you choose your words more carefully in the future.

The positive of Texas is that it has no budget deficit... but the economy and population have both grown significantly to make up for any deficit it could have had. Wisconsin on the other hand, the economy has grown but the population is beginning to flat line.
