I appreciate these sorts of facts and statistics, but never one to assume them true without some effort to verify, I'm having a lot of trouble finding what justifies the claim, especially before I pass this on to some choice Trump supporters and conservatives I know...
Lots of job growth, yes, but "75% of ALL job growth?"
Best I could find was this that doesn't seem to back up this claim at all. https://www.deptofnumbers.com/employment/states/
What am I missing?
Maybe you didn't really look?

California accounted for nearly three out of every four nonfarm jobs created in the U.S. during February, according to data released Friday.
Employers in the state added 14,600 nonfarm payroll jobs last month, the California Employment Development Department reported Friday. Earlier this month, the U.S. government reported nonfarm payrolls in the U.S. rose by just 20,000 jobs in February, or the weakest national showing since September 2017.
“Whatever caused the nation as a whole to have a subpar job gain didn’t have as much influence in California in February,” said Aubrey Henry, a spokesman for the state’s EDD agency.
Even so, Henry said California’s February job gain was below trend for the state in terms of its average for the entire nine-year expansion. California — the fifth-largest economy in the world — has added more than 3.13 million jobs since the economic expansion began in February 2010.
How special! Now let's see you dream up similarly cool names for the 10 states with an overall higher tax burden than California:
New York
Hawaii
Maine
Vermont
Minnesota
Rhode Island
New Jersey
Connecticut
Illinois
Iowa
Higher taxed states usually come with a higher standard of living. Or would you much rather live in a low tax state, such as Oklahoma, where the new governor is so embarrassed with the low quality of life conditions there that he hopes to make Oklahoma a top ten state in things that are good. I don't see how he does it without raising taxes.
Horribly run, such insane taxation, overrun with illegals....yet managed to create 75% of ALL job growth in the U.S. in February. Carrying the weight for all of those red states sucking on the federal welfare teet. Maybe they are on to something.....
I find it interesting that the month you've chosen to cheer for Cali's job growth is like the worst month for growth in the last year and a half over all.

I take it you haven't traveled much in the USA --- maybe you should.
