I'm not at all surprised to see the D.C. metro area on this list. We haven't been hit nearly as hard as many other cities by the recession to begin with. Of course all of the new government jobs don't hurt either!

3Awesome. I live in Austin right now (school) and my hometown is Fort Worth. Could I be in a better position?
