The Campbell Soup plant in Sacramento is closing as of July 2013 as the company says it is taking steps to “improve supply chain productivity,” according to a company release.
Employees were told of the closure during a 6 a.m. meeting Thursday at the plant.
“We employ about 700 people at the Sacramento plant and unfortunately those jobs will be eliminated,” said Campbell Soup Company spokesperson Anthony Sanzio. “This is a tough day for the company, for the employees. No one likes to do this.”
...
The announcement comes just two days after Comcast announced it will close all three of its call centers in Northern California, including one is Sacramento, because of the high cost of doing business in the Golden State.
Most of Sacramento’s production of soup, sauces and beverages will be shifted to Campbell’s three remaining thermal plants in North Carolina, Ohio and Texas.
The company is also closing a spice plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey.
Im surprised dear leader hasn't tried to force them to stay!!!

I hate to see this. Hate it.
Communism never works. Thankfully, California is willing to bankrupt itself and help the other states in the US. We can sell California to the Chinese when they have finally killed off the state.
Will Obama in his 2nd term give them a US taxpayer bailout as he did w/ GM? Time will tell, but it sure wouldn't surprise me.
'Californication' was the phenomenon of California residents moving out of their failed state and trying to enact the same policies of failure in their new home states. Transferring California debt to the US taxpayer, who is already deep in debt himself, would be the ultimate Californication.

I don't know about all the rest, but Amazon is HQ'ed in Seattle, WA, not California.
PS Apple has been funneling a lot of their sales & profits to Nevada, in order to escape high taxes. I wonder how many of the CA companies on your list have done similar things. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/busin...st-year/51700/
Apple also opened a development lab in Austin focusing on mobile.
