Where is the job market improving?

The new jobs report shows average employment gains running at 258,000!  Where are most of the job gains in the country?  I know that this information is important to us at CRS in running our business, and assists us in where to concentrate our marketing for move management services.  

In February, non farm payroll employment improved in 35 states and declined in 14 states reports Bureau of Labor Statistics.  

"The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred
in California (+96,500), followed by Pennsylvania (+23,700), 
Florida and Texas (+22,700 each), and Illinois (+17,600). South Carolina
experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase 
in employment (+0.9 percent), followed by California and 
Delaware (+0.7 percent each)and Oregon and 
Rhode Island (+0.6 percent each)."
 
It's great to see California and and Florida on the rebound since 
these two states were so hard it. At CRS these have been two key 
states for us in volume in past years.  We have seen a rebound in new 
customers calling us for moves this year, and in 
particular the last two months.
