The top five large metropolitan areas for job growth are all located in Texas according to Forbes magazine.  Nine of the top 20 cities are located in Texas with Odessa ranked #1.  The study is based on job growth in 333 regions in the USA.  The study looked at job growth and the change in employment figures since 1996.  Forbes attributes the state's success to "A healthy energy industry is certainly one cause.  Many Texas highfliers, including Odessa, Longview, Dallas and Houston, are home to energy companies that employ hordes of people - and usually at fairly high salaries."  Visit Dallasnews.com for more on this story.
