What do you disagree with? That the energy sector (not just oil) and those closely related to it account for about 1/4 of the job increases last year in TX? That if you removed the energy sector from the equation completely, Texas still has higher job growth than any other state?
You said you couldn't disagree with RD completely. My statement is that I was going to disagree with his statement that it was due to immigrants that the Texas
economy was growing so fast. Perhaps not as clear as it should have been with your comment included in the quotes.
In the portion you quoted, I was responding to Colphax's comment about the job growth being due to the energy sector.

I really don't understand what you're saying. Texas is in the middle of the pack for job growth? I don't really know what those percentages mean. New jobs were created in WY adding up to a 48.7% increase in the past decade? I don't believe it...wait, ummm, Ladas, I'm talking about job growth. Are you?
I'm discussing the same topic that RD was using, to which you responded. Not sure why you switched it to job growth from ecomony
I thought RD was talking about jobs. WY's economy grew by 48.7% in the last decade?

As for your statement about my being "one of those", did you read the other part of my post?
RD is "one of those", not you.
Man, this is all confusing. I think I get it now. You weren't responding to my post at all; you only included my post in order to use my saying "I can't disagree with you completely" to Colphax as a segue to say "I will disagree" to RD. Is that about right?
