Perry's Trip to the Big Apple

Although it might not seem like Texas' economy is that great to families like my own who have been affected by the recent surge in unemployment, according to Gov. Rick Perry, Texas seems to be fairing much better than most other big states during this hard economic time.


While many small businesses and even large coporations around the nation are finding themselves forced to decide between relocating or shutting down completely, last week, Perry ventured to New York with a team of business and community leaders to promote Texas as a land of opportunity.


“As the global economy continues to struggle, Texas stands out because of our strong principles of cutting taxes and spending, investing in job creation and strengthening our school system to groom the workforce of the future,” said Perry, ensuring business owners and CEOs that relocating to Texas is a smart move.


As a concerned citizen during these hard times, it puts me a little more at ease knowing that although Texas seems to be doing better than other states, our governor recognizes that there is still room for improvement. I appreciate his effort of going to New York to promote the great state of Texas and its future prosperity.

  1. This is comforting to know. I have not had a job since I started college, and I do not want a four-year gap in my employment history. I have searched for jobs during every break, but all to no avail. So hopefully with Perry's guidance, we can come back from the recession and unemployment rates will fall. This also reassures me that when I am trying to enter the job market after graduation, Texas will be a good place to start.
