Dallas is more than the Cowboys and their cheerleaders, apparently. This city boasts a low cost of living and several big companies including AT&T (T), Texas Instruments (TXN), Southwest Airlines (LUV), and Blockbuster (BLOKA). Technology, defense, and even financial services are among the top business sectors in Dallas. Bank of America (BAC) and Hilton Hotels have listings for jobs near Dallas. Of course, the Dallas Cowboys, whose new, state-of-the-art stadium in nearby Arlington will be host to Super Bowl XLV in 2011, are also a big draw.
