Houston Ranks #4 in the USA for Best Cities for Jobs  

The Lone Star State shines brilliantly in a list of the best places to work in the U.S. when some economists peer into their crystal balls.

Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio all rank high on the latest forecast data from Moody's (nyse: MCO - news - people ) Economy.com. McAllen, Texas, is expected to have the highest job growth rate, as its leisure and hospitality, educational and health services and commercial construction jobs flourish.

"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."
