"The Texas economy is relentlessly adding jobs..."

The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M is a leading center of academic work on real estate.  The economists there prepare a monthly report on the Texas economy.

This month's report begins:

"The Texas economy is relentlessly adding jobs despite more job losses for the nation.
Texas' nonfarm employment rose 2.2 percent from October 2007 to October 2008
compared with a decrease of 0.9 percent for the United States."
