AUSTIN, Texas — It was 105 degrees outside late last week when Vanessa Surita, 24, planted herself on the sidewalk and stretched her legs. Her young daughter sat in a stroller within arms length, outside the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless. Her needs were great: housing, a job, a high school diploma. She could mark progress in job applications filled out.

A local pizza chain, a Pizza Hut, a local grocery chain, a Family Dollar — each the equivalent of a professional lottery ticket.

“I just recently tried to apply at Whataburger,â€

Look on internet and look where Texas is ranked in job wages education illegals budget and others.49th in just about all of these things out of 50 Perry is dreaming alright.He if he wins the U.S.will be last all over the world.

Please, consider the source. The freaking Huffington Post.

Texas Schools stats suck because of the illegal aliens. PERIOD!!!!

There’s a crowd outside the ARCH no matter the heat.

Actually, this should say they are lined up because of the heat. There are hardly any homeless out on the streets right now or living in the usually open air squats. They are all in the shelters because of the excessive heatwave of + 100 deg temps that has been on Texas for over 45 days. We had one or two days break in the streak and that's it, we almost hit a record but fell short by a few days of consecutive days over 100.

Texas...8.2 percent unemployment in June which puts it below the national average.

All this pathetic paper could say was that the jobs were low wage????? Hmmm, that happens in a down turned economy, all employers want more for less and they know they can get it right now. Having a job, is better than no job. They could come up with 7 locations out of 50 were doing better.

WE NEED TO END ALL PRE-K PROGRAMS IN TEXAS, THEY CATER TO ESL AND CHILDREN WHO CAN NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, THEY GET PLACED IN THE LIMITED SEATS!!!!! PRE-K IS NOT EDUCATION, IT'S A FREE DAYCARE.

Really, what does Gov. Perry have to do with "wage theft" (FED Wage and Hour), and "job site safety" (FED OSHA)?!?!?!?!?

There are two sides to the coin, with plenty of biased Conservative news as well.

I'm sure there is and one thing that I'm certain of is that the Huffingtion Post is the worst of the worst. They don't even bother checking facts, they just blather Liberal crap.
