I saw this on MSN Real Estate and thought it was interested so I thought I should share it!
Employment and economic muscle
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke might think the country is out of the recession, but unemployment is rising from Connecticut to California and banks are taking possession of a growing share of American homes. But some metros across the nation have managed to stay out of the recession's path and could now be poised for recovery. Using data and analysis from the Brookings Institution's new MetroMonitor study, BusinessWeek.com ranked the nation's top 40 economies based on job growth, employment, economic growth and home prices.
1. San Antonio, TX
2. Austin-Round Rock, TX
3. Oklahoma City, OK
4. Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AK
5. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX
6. Baton Rouge, LA
7. Tulsa, OK
8. Omaha-Council Bluffs, Neb.-Iowa
9. Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX
10. El Paso, TX
I find it interesting that Texas shows up a lot up in the top 10, they must be doing something right!
