Im guessing cause most of the new jobs there pay really low.
This has nothing to do with the topic of this thread which is jobs, but is instead another article posted here to make us scared of our shadow.
Furthermore, in reality, California is in a MUCH better position defecitwise than the Federal Govt is:
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $4.15 billion per day since September 28, 2007! U.S. National Debt Clock
How's that for a reality check?
I'm amazed that gloating out-of-staters have time to worry about California, If I were you, Id be on the phone with my congressman.
The Federal deficit is a huge problem and I am very concerned. Hopefully Congress and the President take it seriously and do something about it.
BTW - Unfunded pensions absolutely have impact on jobs. Any municipal body has to find a way to pay for them. So they can take money from other places, raise taxes, or try to negotiate a change in pension benefits. Any change to future pensioners will affect those looking for public jobs now. Pension reform, such as preventing double dipping, might make more jobs available to unretired workers.
California doesnt really lose that many jobs to other states. Its a huge LIE that is constantly repeated by disgruntled Republicans as their way to attack economic policies of Democrats.
In reality, the overwhelming number of jobs here are created and lost in California, they arent created and then moved elsewhere to any degree big enough to matter.
The Public Policy Institute took a look at the data and concluded that all this talk of companies leaving to find cheaper states to do business in actuality was widely overblown.
The study looks at the years of 1992 through 2004 and shows that California has not had a mass exodus of businesses. Most of the business relocations have occurred within California, usually to an adjacent county where land prices are cheaper.
There is the usual ebb and flow of businesses in and out of California but are replaced by new businesses that move into California or start here.
In the words of the study:
"[T]he small number of California jobs moving to other states due to business relocation is relatively inconsequential—about 11,000 jobs per year out of more than 18 million (.06 percent).Business births, deaths, contractions, and expansions have a much greater effect on employment."
Furthermore,
Californians continue to create far more new businesses than the total of businesses that leave the state-by a VERY WIDE MARGIN at that.
Furthermore, I find it totally ironic that somebody who brings up the MYTH that California jobs are moving en masse to TX but doesnt also bring up OUTSOURCING to India, China etc.
Oh yeah, I forgot, you guys dont mind that.
I think the point should be that if you are in California and are unemployed and you want a job then you might look at other states as well as California for a job.

California creates far more jobs than that in a normal year.
