The Neal Spelce Austin Letter reports that the U-Haul cost for moving from California to Texas is $3000!  If you want to move to California, this cost is only $900.   Texas was the last state to enter the recession, and many folks from other states are job hunting in our state.  A report by Kevin D. Williamson states that by one estimate, 70% of new jobs created in the United States in 2008 were created in Texas.  One aspect of Texas's economic edge is the UT system.  Other universities across the country, including California, are furloughing professors, and cutting class offerings.
