JasonDFW Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I was reading the Houston Biz Journal online earlier and it said Greater Houston and DFW took the top 2 spots in the nation for non-farm job growth this past year. I would have expected Houston to be up there but with all the predictions of a DFW downturn I expected mediocre results. It's amazing how far behind the California metros were in those measures.jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonfella Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 We have been hiring a lot of Californians who have relocated to Houston over the past few years. They are here because it is too expensive to own a home out there. I am sure DFW has experienced this same phenomena. California's loss is Texas' gain.

It's been a while since I have seen one of those lists of which county everyone from a county moved from though.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
