I'm surprised California isn't in the bottom 5. It's actually 40th. The way I seen people complain about Cali being all anti-business, I thought for sure it'd be in the bottom 5.

"best to do business" = "easiest to bypass regulations and exploit labor"

Strange. If these states were screwing over workers, why is there so much of a clamor to move to them? Texas is performing well and also has an unemployment rate well under California's (since both of you are from there). And someone said California is #40, and many expected it to be worse. So why the hate? Is it because your state is not looked at favorably?

Plenty of states have tons of people 'clamoring to move there'---that has really little bearing on how workers are treated. Even dreaded California attracts hundreds of thousands of people a year from out of state and even more from outside the country-does that fact cause you to question your faith? lolololololol

Texas also has a higher poverty rate, higher high school drop out rates, higher level of uninsured persons, etc. I guess that means there's some smoke and mirrors action going on in the lone star state.
And you were the one that decided to specifically single out TX and CA. Lest you forget.

say that when your unemployed and cant find a job...........
Wonder why California has 1/6th of the nations welfare people?
Wonder why California has the 2nd highest unemployment rate?
Wonder why its losing the most people to domestic migration? aside from NY state which both are in bad shape.
Look at the government and liberal/communist in office in that state passing the laws...........
Then look at how many of those companies are moving to Texas and Indiana.
Heck at the rate California is killing itself Silcon valley will shrink to a small business sector in a business depressed state in 20 years. aka Silicon valley loses its importance.
