    Unfortunately, Texas isn't immune to the ObombedIt economy and the declining value of labor as government piles on more and more regulations, taxes and now ObombedItCare.

    Think--2 million equivalent full time jobs projected to be lost over the next several years thanks to this one gigantic, wholly Democrat, f-up. All so that we can end up with 30 million uninsured and a bunch more with crappy policies that doctors and hospitals are already starting to reject at the door.

    And we have the truly stupid here continuing to tell us what a great accomplishment this was.

    I still to prefer to look on the bright side

    Middle class growth in Texas

    But the pain is not evenly distributed. There are eight metro areas that boast more mid-level jobs today than in 2007. The list is dominated by Texas cities, led by Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, which has added 17,000 mid-skill jobs — an increase of 7.6% – among the 95,000 new jobs generated in the region. The largest numeric increase is in Houston-Sugarland-Baytown, which has 60,810 more mid-skilled jobs, up 7.4%. The Houston metro area also has easily led the nation in overall job growth since 2007, adding a net 280,000 positions.
    Texas metro areas also come in third and fourth: in San Antonio-New Braunfels, middle-income employment rose 3.4%; in Dallas-Ft. Worth-Arlington , 3.1%. Nearby Oklahoma City comes in fifth with 2.1% growth in middle-income employment, sharing the merits of relatively low costs and a strong energy economy.
    The destruction of the middle class in the liberal meccas

    The working class and the endangered middle class may be favored topics of discussion in the deepest blue regions, but for the most part these metro areas have failed to bolster their middle-skilled labor forces. Los Angeles-Long Beach leads the league with the biggest net loss of mid-skilled jobs since 2007, down by 112,300, or 6.1%. Chicago had the second-largest numerical decline, some 102,100, or 7.6%, followed by New York, which lost 82,350 such jobs, 3.4% of its total in 2007. In contrast, notes economist Tyler Cowen, Texas has not only created the most middle-income jobs, but a remarkable one-third of all net high-wage jobs created over the past decade

    All of this brought to you by Obama and the democratic socialist.

    ADP uses a sample size of only 24 million employees in only 19 sectors, which only covers about 15,000 worksites

    CES uses a sample size of more than 160,000 businesses and government agencies, which covers more than 400,000 worksites.

    There is really no way ADP can be used as an accurate benchmark for what Friday's jobs report will be. Never has been.
