Here are The Facts:

• Since June 2009, Texas has created nearly 40 percent of the net new jobs in America.
• Since Rick Perry became Texas Governor in Dec. 2000, Texas has gained more than 1 million net new jobs, while the rest of the nation has lost nearly 2.5 million jobs.
• Texas has experienced 11 percent job growth under Rick Perry, compared to a 2 percent job reduction for the rest of the nation since Dec. 2000.
• 95 percent of Texas jobs pay above minimum wage.
• Texas ranks third among states in personal income growth during Rick Perry’s tenure as Governor.
• The mining and logging sector, which includes support activities for oil and gas, employs just 2.3 percent of Texas workers.
• Oil and Gas Extraction as a percentage of Texas’ State GDP has decreased by more than half over the last 25 years from 14% to 6.5%.
• 38 percent of Texas’ net new jobs have been in Education and Health Services.

There’s no way Obama’s new “jobs bill” can do what Perry’s policies have done.
