How many of those jobs are minimum wage? I'm not for increasing minimum wage nor am I stupid enough to consider anything that pays 7.25 per hour a job. That's called "going through the motions"

Good for Texas!

Will median wages come back to what they were before the housing market crash 2007/2008? HOPEFULLY this will be next... right now they are still lagging in wages apples to apples vs 2007....

this is everywhere though....not just Texas.

Texas increased population/increase in workers is coming from Hispanics and Asians, not necessarily Blue State citizens heading south and away from higher taxes as someone mentioned above....

What does a city's paycheck stretching have to do with median household incomes being stagnate compared apples to apples before the great recession and prior to the bubble crash, which is what I was talking about?

Oil and gas job openings increase in Texas eaglefordtexas.com

The San Antonio Business Journal recently reported that in the Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association’s “State of Energy Report”, Texas increased its oil and gas employment by 23,100 in 2013. The job total for the sector is now at 411,600. Texas alone accounted for 75 percent of new U.S. jobs in the industry last year. The state leads the United States in production numbers. In 2014, Texas has added over 4,000 new positions between April and June alone.

The shale boom in the U.S has increased oil and gas production by 64 percent, employing 10 million workers. North Dakota is second for oil and gas employment providing 2100 jobs in 2013. Oil and gas professionals’ average salary in 2013 was $92,160
