Texas IS No. 1 - in minimum-wage jobs

Dave Mann of the Texas Observer, as part of a NYT op-ed roundtable about Rick Perry's alleged, but actually mythical, Svengali-like economic powers, notes that Texas leads the nation in minimum wage jobs. 550,000 now.

But Mann is too optimistic for Texas in general, in part. Our "mild climate"? Sure doesn't seem like it this year, and, assuming this is partially related to global warming, won't be in the future.

And, as Ruben Navarette knows, Perry is an asshole when you challenge him on things like this.
