DFW among the 20 best performing US metro areas

This from Brookings Institute's ranking of metro areas by overall economic performance. The rankings are done based on employment change from peak, unemployment rate change from 3 years ago, metro 'gdp' change from peak, and housing price index from peak.

DFW is bouncing back from the recession stronger than most US metro areas. Dots in blue indicate strongest performance.

Hat tip to Forbes. They have a nice slide-show and an article regarding the strongest areas. They write that metros that are strongest "tend to be hubs for government activity, energy, logistics and, in some cases, technology growth."
