Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio all rank high on the latest forecast data from Moody's (nyse: MCO - news - people ) Economy.com.

"While the economy is cooling, Texas continues to generate more jobs than the national average," said Krista Piferrer, deputy press secretary to Gov. Rick Perry. "Unemployment is low in Texas, thanks in large part to a favorable business climate that encourages businesses to expand or relocate to our state."
