end up with 8.7 million job gain.
"The economy has not only regained the 4.3 million jobs lost during Obamas first 13 months in office, but also has regained the 4.4 million jobs lost during the 12 months before he entered the White House. Total employment now is at a record high 415,000 jobs higher than the peak number reached before the great recession of 2007-2009."
Now how does that number compare to Texas's gain of 882,582
I got 10.14%
If I am wrong please tell me and why.

Summary
Presidential candidate and Texas Gov. Rick Perry has boasted of significant job growth in his state in the past few years. And for good reason: Its true. While Texas clearly hasnt avoided the recession, the state has done well in terms of increasing jobs, when compared with the recovery nationally.
Perrys claim that 40 percent
of all the jobs in America were created in Texas since June 2009 is accurate. But its also true that the increase in jobs hasnt kept pace with the rise in the states population so the number of jobless Texans also has risen, along with the states unemployment rate. And Texas is tied with Mississippi for the highest percentage of hourly workers paid at or below the minimum wage.
Texas job statistics are a mixed bag. Perrys supporters and Perrys detractors select the statistics that suit their spin. Here well just lay out a balanced look at the facts good and bad alike and leave the spin to others.
