Did Texas really add more jobs in 2010 than any other state?

Gov. Perry said so in his state of the state address, but is it true? Yes, and even PolitiFact Texas had to admit it.

According to preliminary December 2010 data in the report, Texas had the largest employment increase that month, adding about 20,000 jobs, followed by South Carolina, which added some 9,000 jobs.

Abbot also told us that among the states, Texas had a 2.3 percent increase in jobs in 2010. New Hampshire came in second with a 2.1 percent job increase.
