I know we lead the nation in things like the highest number of minimum-wage jobs, and it's tied with 2 other states in the percentage of population without health insurance. On the plus side, the state does lead the way in the number of jobs created in recent years, but we're lacking in the number of  people in state prisons. What gives? This should be an easy one to beat. Across this great land of ours, Louisiana wins this dubious honor. C'mon Texas, we can do better!

That's also true economically speaking. Our state has fared far better than most of the rest of the country during the recession, and that kind of news is always great to hear. Just seeing all the growth around Victoria is reassuring, because it means more jobs, and better opportunity for everybody. Check out this story from Reuters that ranks the Lone Star State the best for business.
