Totally dude!

But you may want to run that past your amigos who claim the "illegals" are stealing jobs...

So UnoFire thinks illegals are only going to Red States? lol


What a fool

Illegals aren't going to NY, California, and Massachusetts for the generous free stuff that Liberals give to ithem?

It would really destroy them if them "illegals" are the reason for the supposed business boom in red states.

Keep it a secret.

Why has Texas become the new business hotspot?

Because it's where 'woke' goes to die?

It seems odd to me that in order to disprove what you felt to be a less than credible source you decided to use a source that used irrelevant data, Anti.


Then you commented on the original source's "cherry picking" then provided a graph that showed that Texas lost a lot of jobs during the pandemic along with the unsupported commentary that "Texas was hit the hardest."

According to "The Hill," New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Minnesota, Louisiana, Hawaii, Wisconsin, and Maryland lost the most non-farm jobs during the pandemic. (Dated 7-8-22, accessed 6-4-24 Here are the 10 states losing the most jobs since the pandemic - The Hill) That kind of belies the claim that "Texas was hit the hardest" does it not?

I fail to see how the ethnicity has anything to do with the discussion. Was that a "cherry picked" fact or was it somehow germane to the topic?

Too bad there's not a guvmint agency that could show lyin' anti the exact facts ntb is quoting. That's too bad. Someone should do their best to get someone fired over that failure.

Gandy,
While Cooper is a Democrat, about half of the Counsel of State is Republicans and both the House and Senate have been majority Republican for a few years now.

In the original poster's linked article one reads that Texas added over 1.3 million jobs over the past five years for an average (please check my math) of 260,000 jobs a year.


Not the Bee is sort of like the National Enquirer, it's not a real source. Without a real source, I have no idea whether the numbers given are simply made up. The only reliable source I could find was the one I gave.

Regardless, it's an interesting time period to cherry pick... 2019 until today.

What I COULD find was this...

You can see that Texas was hit the hardest under COVID, so of course they had farther to rebound.

And it's REALLY interesting that Texas is the example of choice, since it's 40.2% Hispanic...

Lyin' anti is still lyin'! DB's article clearly states "job growth over 5(FIVE!) years" Lyin' anti uses a spinstraction article to show lyin' lieberals in a good light. But it don't hold water! Say it with me 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 YEARS! Aah! Aah! Aah!

LOL. Sounds like someone who knows their talking point is as **** as they are.

Sorry to torpedo your years of whining about jobs and inflation.

As you so correctly pointed out, Anti, the original poster's article referred to the past five years while the article you referenced was only for a single year, 2023. Plus, the two articles used very different metrics to substantiate the writers' claims.

In the original poster's linked article one reads that Texas added over 1.3 million jobs over the past five years for an average (please check my math) of 260,000 jobs a year. Nevada, as the article you quoted stated, managed to grow slightly less than 60,000 jobs in 2023. No matter how many percentage points Nevada grew, in a year it still failed to produce a higher number of new jobs than Texas averaged in a single year over the past five years.

Republican States are getting the jobs

Liberal States are losing

Let's go Brandon!?!?!?!
