I read a report yesterday or the day before, confirming what most of us living in Texas strongly suspected. Our state is well ahead of the curve in terms of job growth. The cities of Dallas and Ft.Worth rank above the rest of the nation in terms of job growth. Houston is a close second. The jobless rate in the metroplex is down slightly from eight percent to roughly seven and a half, admittedly a small decline, but a good one considering the national average is nine percent. There are a number of ways to crunch the numbers, obviously, but in terms of both population and job growth Texas is definitely better off than most of our sister states; far better off than some. I’m not suggesting that times are exactly good here, just better.
The category of growth I found most interesting, both for me personally and for Tyler, comes in the area of Education and Health Care. These two fields seem to be growing albeit slowly, with an interesting stipulation: it includes private as opposed to public schools. The article I read cites 6.4 percent growth in the Ft. Worth area, and 5.2 in the Dallas area. While these numbers relate specifically to the metroplex, this category is of course the largest field of employment in East Texas. With the public schools in Texas experience big cutbacks, private schools are growing, and hiring new staff. While its admittedly anecdotal evidence, I can attest to this, as I recently accepted a position at a new private school in our area.
I think the relative health of the Texas economy comes as a result of a generally pro-business administration, and a lack of state income tax, which encourages immigration from states like California (and others), that are incredibly overburdened by regulation and taxation. Incidentally, the Bureau of Labor put San Francisco near the bottom of the job growth list with -0.3 percent growth when compared to last year.

You can reach our preferred Landscape and plumbing fixit Tyler home contractors by calling Tim and Christi at 903-769-9485 
We have used a few different plumbers to help us with our Tyler homes renovation projects but we really lucked out with our latest contractor. Before finding our current plumbing contractor I brought in some different plumbers that charged anywhere from $65 – $75 an hour and didn’t really seem to have the type of experience and ability that I would expect for paying $65 an hour. These other Tyler Texas plumbers got the job done but at a cost I cannot continue to afford to pay.
My cabinet painter told me about an experienced company that could hook up my sink and dishwasher correctly and for a good price. He explained that this company is affordable and experienced. I called Tim and Christi up with Wildflower Landscape and Irrigation and they came over and began the work on the Moen sink faucet set, the sink, dishwasher, and refridgerator. They were meticulous to make positively sure there were absolutely no leaks. They installed a brand new sink faucet set I bought at Lowes and made it look perfect. They also got the dishwasher into my custom cabinets in a really snug fit. They installed the cabinet fitting over the dishwasher so the dishwasher was established in the wall.
The refridgerator was hooked up to the water and works great. The sinkerator food disposal was also hooked up by Tim and Christi with Wildflower landscape and irrigation. The button for the disposal was installed into our granite countertops and the whole setup looks perfect. They were able to complete the job quickly and without any problems. I was very happy with their professionalism and how much care goes into their work. Tim and Christi really care about the job they do for their customers and it shows. You will notice that they never do a half way done job but always go above and beyond to the point of perfection which is many times not the case when working with a Tyler home building contractor.
We do not recommend every home building contractor that comes into our Tyler TX home but we are more then pleased with Tim and Christi of Wildflower Landscape and Irrigation.
