Hound, probably the best way to normalize these results is to compare them with equally large states that approach business completely differently like California or New York. You will see just how dramatic the results are in Texas when you compare to their peers in terms of size, population, etc. Both of these states are so much worse off than Texas. California is probably the best one to compare and contrast because they have similar issues with immigration and illegals.

When you compare the results of job creation and economic growth in Texas, particularly in light of the overall economic conditions in the country and when compared to peers like California you should be impressed. Whether all credit goes to the governor is open to debate but the results are not.
