Well, isn't that interesting?

I suspect some of that could well be a rapid influx of job refugees who are glutting the market.  Not making excuses for Perry, simply seeing a trend there similar to what happened to Oklahoma in the early 1980's before our jobs picture went tits up.  Everywhere you went, there were Missouri and Texas tags- all people who came here looking for work because word had gotten out about our great jobs picture at the time.

Looks like Gov. Fallin is doing a better job at jobs creation, but don't let the Texicans know that Wink
