"The American", A Journal for the American Enterprise Institute, did a study on American migration and population growth during the economic growth years 2003-2007 and then during the recession years 2007-2009. What they found is that Texas is arguably the nations' most sustained and serious economic success story. We have the lowest unemployment of the ten largest states and very high domestic inflow (people moving from other states to Texas)!
In 2008 to 2009, Texas had 18% of the nation's population growth and by far the highest domestic inflow of any state . . . 143,423 people moved from other states to TEXAS! Take a look at this Texaplex video to see why so many people are interested in Texas and the DFW area.
That would be the great news about Texas . . . . But to top it off FOUR of Collin County's five largest cities (Frisco, Plano, Allen, & McKinney) are now nationally ranked in the TOP 100 Wealthiest Cities, IN THE USA. McKinney is Ranked #7 regionally and #85 nationally! Frisco is ranked #2 regionally and #27 nationally. Way to go Texas and way to go McKinney and Frisco
