Over 10,000 layoffs hit North Texas this year, yet DFW’s economy is still solid.

Layoffs in North Texas are projected to exceed 10,000 individuals by 2025. This substantial figure represents a regional total across various sectors, rather than a single affected company. The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area is the primary region experiencing these job reductions. Despite the high number of job cuts, economic experts assert that the DFW economy remains robust and strong.

How many do you think are moving to Houston, TX from California?

How many do you think are moving to Houston, TX from California?

I know of a few people that are g concerned regarding selling their house in the Danville,CA area. This is a tough market to sell a house.

I took the package and I am retiring. Not sure I want to stay in this area. However, perhaps it is better to just move versus being constantly reminded about the presence Chevron previously had in the area.

To my layoff friends, is anyone else semi-relieved?

No more ambiguity. I don't have to sit in this he-l hole of a position, worrying about the ax man chasing me anymore. I'm at peace. A chicken with its head cut off.

No but in all honesty, I moved out to Texas from Chicago for the position I worked. This place, no offense to the native Texas folk out here (you guys are generally pretty great), is a fu--ing shithole. I won't dig into the specifics of why, other than I genuinely can't wait to go back up north where you have a better quality of life. I will not miss this place.

I want to acknowledge that I'm aware of the inherent sensitivity to this subject. Not everyone is in an as fortunate of a situation and that's okay. I feel for you too. I grieved this whole ordeal way before it went down because of this site. I can acknowledge not everyone is there and for that, I want to give you nothing but the utmost respect and wish you nothing but the best.


Don't make fun of Dallas yall.

Dallas gives you big-city energy without the chaos: a booming job market, no state income tax, modern high-rise living, elite restaurants, endless shopping, and a huge, diverse social scene. You get clean, well-maintained neighborhoods, wide roads, quick commutes, and easy access to airports that make national travel effortless.

The city blends Southern hospitality with a fast-growing, entrepreneurial vibe, offering major sports teams, arts districts, lakes, and year-round events—while still being far more affordable than NYC, LA, or SF.

It’s a place where you can actually build wealth, enjoy space, and still feel plugged into a major metropolitan lifestyle.
