Job Growth year over year: 1.3%

Job Losses or zero growth in 4 out of 8 major industries.

Looks like alot of the growth in the largest county in America is leisure and hospitable and health-care related due to affordable care act spending.


American Apparel starts mass layoffs as company winds down operations - LA Times

That is just the beginning of apparel industry layoffs.

Manufacturing declined 2% year over year and low and medium level manufacturing fleeing California as fast as they can.

Not to mention they have 57,000 customer service representives in the Los Angeles which many will likely move to other states as the minimum wage and high worker compensation rates force companies to move to Las Vegas, Texas and Phoenix.

Can't imagine how bad it will get as companies that employ entry-level workers can't afford $15 and then the highest workers compensation rates in the country and all the other California taxes.

It seems to be prevalent because California is totally rejecting the lunatic in the White House. It's a lot of propaganda.


Quote:
"As the sixth largest economy in the world, California is more economically powerful than France and has a population larger than Poland. Point by point, California compares and competes with countries, not just the 49 other states.”

In our view, the United States of America represents so many things that conflict with Californian values, and our continued statehood means California will continue subsidizing the other states to our own detriment, and to the detriment of our children.

Is that what it is? Because They've been posting this stuff for years now. They're obsessed with California.

Because in their simple black and white world view, every last person in California is a raging liberal, even if a third of them voted for Trump.

Pennsylvania was the third largest economy in the world at one point, but things change. California has unstable policies, and will decline.

Things haven't changed yet. That's the point.

Moreover, why do you guys get so giddy at the thought of California going down the drain? Why does that make you all so happy? Because where you live is miserable?

I'll never get it either. I don't root against Texas. Good on Texas when they prosper and good for California when they do. And I prefer they do so less of them invade us here in Phx.
