1: Texas added 274,700 jobs in the last 12 months. ( This was written in 2013)
2: Texas is a cheap state to live in and thrive in.
3:People in college are the ones struggling the most in Texas. Only 35% are working full time jobs.
4. In 2012, the total migration from Texas, to the other 49 states was 106,000
5. Texas has an unemployment rate of 6.4% - but the national rate is 7.3%. ( At least the point of time this article was written.)
Okay, next is my paragraph answering the question, "Will it be good or bad if the rest of the United States becomes more like Texas?"
Texas is the second biggest state in the United States. So, WILL it be bad or good if the USA becomes more like Texas? Lets find out. Texas' land is cheap and so are the houses and apartments. To find out the answer to the main question, lets ask, "Is it bad if land and houses are cheaper all across the USA?" Yes and No. This is good thing because land is cheaper, who doesn't like that? This is also bad, at least for land and property owners and companies. That is because of the amount of money they are making, but if the USA was to turn into one giant Texas, then land prices wouldn't be a problem. Land is also cheap because of its cheap labor. A middle-class Texan can only make so much and afford what they need. People are moving to Texas for its cheap living styles. Lets go back to the question, "Will it be good or bad if the rest of the United States becomes more like Texas?" I think the United States is fine the way it is right now, but if I was for one of the sides, I would be for the "good" side.
You did exceptionally good work in this post. Your five important points are very important indeed, and you went above and beyond in choosing a picture to illustrate each point.
ReplyDeleteI like the careful, logical way you answered the question of whether it would be good or bad for the United States to become more like Texas. I also like the way you showed arguments for each side of the question. The better historians almost always show arguments for and against the thesis (main argument) they are stating.
