Texas Is HOT!! (Job-Market-wise, that is...): Hottest job markets in a cooling economy
Hottest job markets in a cooling economy Thanks in part to higher energy costs, Texas metros top the list
No job market matches the pace of Houston, which added 48,100 positions since mid-2007, an average of 925 every week.
The past year has been a rocky one for the U.S. economy.
The nation has seen 394,000 private-sector jobs slip away since mid-2007, equaling a loss of 7,570 jobs each week. The unemployment rate has shot up a full point during the same span — from 4.7 percent at the halfway point of 2007 to 5.7 percent this year.
But a few sections of the country have managed to dodge this economic carnage. The most prominent exception is Texas, which is home to America's three hottest labor markets, according to a new bizjournals study.
