Approximately 112,500 more people moved out of California than moved into the state
That net loss of residents meant more than $2.5 billion in net lost income as well.
Where did these movers go? The states with the highest net migration (more people moving to that state from California than the other direction) were:
Texas, 32,406 people
Arizona, 15,533
Oregon, 12,577
Nevada, 12,094
Washington, 11,890
With the exception of Texas, Californians weren't going far, just over the border in all directions. California was also the net gainer of people from 20 states. The top ones:
in 2008, California's loss was extremely small in a state of 38 million. And, in fact, the state's population continues to increase overallbecause Illegal immigration and births to those illegal immigrants. But it is the fourth consecutive year that more residents decamped from California for other states than arrived there from within the U.S.
A losing streak that long hasn't happened in California since the recession of the early 1990s, when departures outstripped arrivals from other states by 362,000 in 1994 alone.
Could it be that devastating, or way more brutal to California, than 1994.
The tax payers are leaving and the parasites are multiplying.
What is that a formula for? Could it accelerate the exodus?
Over all population keeps going up due to citizen births and not just "illegal aliens" as you have dumbly claimed. Also most of the people leaving are leaving because they can't afford the cost of housing here and for no other reason.
I guess most of the people who are sick of California will already have left the state in the past. Thus I don't assume any significant rise in their numbers.
I read somewhere that a lot of illegals have left California because the supply of cheap jobs has been reduced quite a bit due to the crisis.
If that pool of people are among the most productive and providing the most income, that .03% may constitute up to 5-10% of the revenue.
