had the lowest unemployment rate
for the last 57 consecutive months.
Out of the past 125 months, Bryan-
College Station has had the lowest
unemployment rate for 105 of those
months," Basinger said.
Basinger said cities with universi
ties have low unemployment rates
because they offer many jobs.
"Anywhere with a local universi
ty is going to have a low unemploy
ment rate because they have a lot of
state government jobs. For instance,
number two on the list is the Austin-
San Marcos area," Basinger said.
"Places like Dallas and Houston are
probably not going to change
because they are so big and it would
take a huge percentage to change
their unemployment rate."
Griffis said 77,400 jobs were
reported in the B-CS area for May,
and the University has a large impact
on that number.
"Out of the total jobs reported, the
largest number of jobs was in state
government, which shows the effect
the University has," Griffis said.
"The state government makes up
about 29 percent of total jobs. That is
nearly 22,000 state jobs. The state
government makes up for the low
unemployment rate."
Griffis said B-CS is difficult to com
pare with other metropolitan areas.
"I don't think it is a fair compari
son. It is hard to compare this area
because of the uniqueness. When
you get to the larger metro areas, it is
like comparing apples and oranges
because they have different job mar
kets," Griffis said. "I often use Bryan-
College Station as an example of a
city that can't be compared to
because it is sheer stability."
The number of employed Texans
increased from this past April to May
by 31,500. This increase was due to the
government's need for temporary
employment for the 2000 Census.
Texas' unemployment rate was 4.2
percent for this past May, resulting in
the lowest unemployment rate record
ed for the month of May since 1979.

test," Zaun said.
If any drugs are detected during
this screening process, the sample is
analyzed for the amount of the drug
present.
"There are specific levels of each
drug in the sample that we typically
look for in order to rule out the possi
bility of passive inhalation or an expo
sure that may have happened a long
time ago," Zaun said. "For instance, we
typically look for 50 nanograms (50
parts per billion) when examining for
marijuana. But, with the equipment
any lab has, they can look for as little as
one part per billion. If you have ever
been exposed to pot in the last few
months, it would show up [at one part
per billion] because marijuana will de
posit itself in the body's fat cells and
stay there."
A common tactic of those wishing
to evade a positive result on a drug test
is to dilute their urine with water.
"A real dilute sample always sends
up a red flag during testing," Safe said.
"Most testing facilities will imnt
ately request a second sampled
