I'm glad California is doing well again, large state and good people. Also Michigan has been on the ball for the past 5 months doing well, it makes me glad to see them rising above the rest in these times. Oh and of course, Illinois doing well is great for me, Chicago's really making strides at a stronger comeback compared to 2009 & early 2010. Good for them (California, Illinois, & Michigan).

it isn't necessarily real jobs making a comeback. the growth is "unbalanced" according to the study linked below. crap low hour jobs basically. but economies do fluctuate, nothing new there i guess, that's how you get rich and i've got quite a bit invested right now. i'm looking forward to a comeback at some point, hopefully soon because i hear there's a new lamborghini murcielago replacement coming out with more horsepower.

Per Cap; it performed pretty well, not quite to TX but I think besting CA on this metric - either way a good thing for PA, seriously
