Texas Gov. Rick Perry today credited the state’s fiscal policies, its commitment to a balanced budget and low taxes as reasons why it continues to be “the nation’s epicenter for job creation.”
Perry, who spoke at the International Economic Development Council’s annual conference in Houston, noted that Texas added 38,000 jobs in August and created nearly 1.4 million jobs in the last 10 years — both more than any other state.
Texas continues to attract employers from around the world to create jobs and investment. This week, TMK Group, a Russia-based producer of oil and gas steel pipe, opened a research and development center in Houston. The company also said it would relocate its U.S. headquarters to Texas, creating 500 jobs.
