Little stick figures are just lining up for jobs in D/FW.
Despite some evidence to the contrary, the Department of Labor says the Dallas/Fort Worth area has the highest rate of new jobs in the country in the last 12 months. The area added about 68,000 nonfarm jobs (not sure why a distinction has to be made there, but whatever) from July 2007 through July 2008, which represents a 2.3 percent growth.
Since we've got all these jobs available, I can tell people a great place to live.

DFW does have a lot of malls and fast food restaurants.
This nonsense about high paying jobs moving overseas is all liberal left propaganda. Things are just rock'n. 4 More years!

yes. it is all liberals fault. Iraq war too! Damn the Clintons for hiding those WMD's. Damn Gore for 9/11.
BTW, the distinction of non-farm jobs is probably that: --The "farm jobs" get taken by hard-working immigrants (yes, usually illegal) --The "non-farm jobs" get taken by lazy-ass Texans (yes, usually conservative) that bitch and moan about the illegals taking their jobs.
