Do You Know This About Austin?

I am amazed at the press that circulates about the economic viability of Texas and Austin in particular. During the past week Austin ranked HIGH on 'Quality of Life' in a new study released by Portfolio.com. Stated in the report, Austin ranked highest on the job opportunities for young adults, Houston taking the 5th position and Dallas 7th. In another report released by NEWSMAX, Texas ranked numero uno for business, the result of a recent survey of CEO's and stating that "Texas is pro-business with reasonable regulations. The article went on to mention that Texas is where 70% of all new U. S. jobs created since 2008 are based.
There is more -- Kiplingers just released an article ranking the top 10 cities in the nation for the next decade. Guess which city is #1 – A town. The article states that while smart people and great ideas charge a city -- collaboration supercharges. Another characteristic that is usually always mentioned when referencing Austin -- it is just a fun city to live, work, play and visit.
