TEXAS CITIES BEST PLACES FOR JOBS

Aren't you glad and proud to be Texan? For the second year in a row, Texas cities took half of the top ten spots in Newgeography.com's annual ranking of the best cities in the nation in which to find a job.

Austin–Round Rock–San Marcos ranked first (ironically Round Rock also ranks high on number of foreclosed properties), San Antonio–New Braunfels second, our own Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown third, Dallas-Plano-Irving fifth and Fort Worth–Arlington seventh. I think this is some amazing statistics!

Among the medium-sized cities that Newgeography.com ranked, El Paso was fifth, McAllen-Mission-Edinburg was sixth and Corpus Christi was seventh.

College Station–Bryan was the third best smallest city in which to find a job. Killeen–Temple–Fort Hood was fourth.

The rankings are based on three-month rolling averages of monthly employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics from November 1999 to January 2010. For more information you can visit the website.
