So, it's bad in both of the cities? I read the above comment as bringing awareness to the fact that not all "% is employed" stats is good. It might be super-privileged and entitled position of mine, but at this day and age, considering multiple-job or "barely making ends to meet" employments as a "win" is very disingenuous. I understand the general hardships (family history and etc.), just very weird when we think how we're doing "better" when it's very far from stressless life for North American standards. It is kinda hard to put it into words for some reason, just feels off.
My point was specifically pointing to the worst out of the large cities doesn't really prove a point about a state. It is possible that San Antonio is just doing something wrong on a city level and it has nothing to do with Texas. You need to look at a larger picture to figure out if Texas is doing something wrong. Huron having high poverty doesn't show California is doing something wrong any more than San Antonio shows Texas is doing something wrong.
Texas does have higher poverty as a whole than California so there is a possibility that Texas is doing something wrong. All I am saying is selectively choosing a city to prove a point doesn't actually prove the point about the whole state.
