Earlier we posted an infographic showing that the SouthWest region lead the United States in having the highest number of fastest growing companies. In particular, Texas had 25 of the top 100 list.

While correlation does not mean causation, Mint has published its own infographic showing that people are migrating from states, such as California, that have been hard hit by the Great Recession to places like Texas. Their take on the infographic is that people are moving from states where the cost of living is high, such as California and Ney York, to where the cost of living is low, such as Texas.
