The Austin economy and economic outlook continues to rank #1 or #2 in the country for growth.

Forbes, Newsweek, Moody's, and other sources have posted recent articles on new job creation and housing demand.  To name a few employers, Facebook has announced hiring 200 employees (the only expansion outside of their headquarters in Palo Alto, CA).  Samsung is hiring another 500 employees to their $3.6 billion dollar Austin wafer plant upgrade.  Host Gator, one of the nations biggest internet hosting companies, is hiring another 300 employees.  The US economy is relatively soft but not in Austin, Texas.
