Even by a more conservative  estimate that omits states with net job losses, Texas’ advances make up  30% of the 1 million additions in the 34 states with net growth.“For one large state to grow (jobs) so much faster than the rest of the  nation is very unusual,” says Moody’s economist Ed Friedman.</blockquote>
