California led nation in jobs last year- by a LOT! (Reagan, polls)

Let's hope you can find enough water for them.

California is sure an interesting state. I agree with most of the comments. It is a great state, but with the intense gentrification, explosive growth in illegal and immigrants in general, it manages to be overpriced and yet full of barrios, ghettos, and crime. And liberal overall, but with a militant right wing culture in Orange County. I do think the turnaround in California, which was ground zero for the housing bubble (engineered by the OC RE fraudsters / gurus), has demonstrated that tax hikes to cover deficits do not destroy the economy. In fact, they helped to strengthen it, by increasing middle class employment.

CA is a militantly liberal state. Orange County is semi normal.

Is this red spot at the bottom of California purely a coincidence then for an upcoming 9 week training event in late summer/early fall of 2015?

[p. 6] Why is it labelled "Hostile" along with Texas, and Utah (LDS?)?

California is not a militantly liberal state. It's not even a mildly liberal state.

It just happens to have more Democrats than Republicans...and huge urban areas that swing the electoral college positively for Democrats in presidential elections.

California can be extremely conservative in parts of it. This is a state that recalled a Democratic governor and replaced him with a Republican.

Texas population 27.6 million
California population 38.8 million

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics - Unemployment

Texas unemployment: 4.4 percent
California unemployment 6.9 percent

California ranks 47 out of 50 states plus DC
Texas ranks 15 out of 50 states plus DC

If you need a job, here's where you want to be (Top 10 - Lowest unemployment):

1 NORTH DAKOTA 2.8 Rep
2 NEBRASKA 2.9 Rep
3 SOUTH DAKOTA 3.4 Rep
3 UTAH 3.4 Rep
5 MINNESOTA 3.7 Dem
6 OKLAHOMA 3.9 Rep
7 NEW HAMPSHIRE 4.0 Dem
7 WYOMING 4.0 Rep
9 HAWAII 4.1 Dem
9 IDAHO 4.1 Rep
9 VERMONT Dem

Maybe you should ask the democrat governors from Minn, NH. Hawaii, VT to run for President.

So if tax hikes strenghten the economy, why are so many in California living in such poverty?

Is this the strategy we can expect for the rest of the nation? Rich/Poor, little inbetween, with housing costs out the ass and high crime if you arent one of the fortunate few..

Are these things we should be celebrating?

The LA Times five top states for job growth: (All numbers rounded to the nearest thousand)

Texas new jobs 393,000; Texas population 25,145,000

Florida new jobs 274,000; Florida population 18,801,000

New York new jobs 158,000; New York population 19,378,000

Georgia new jobs 132,000; Georgia population 9,687,000

Relative to population, California definitely did not have the highest job growth.

Typical liberal LA Times propaganda. No wonder the lib newspapers are losing readers.

Are you raining on the OPs parade of BS?

How dare You!!!

Fiddle, if tax cuts dont create jobs, care to explain this

Didn't realize it was my responsibility to address all that. His implication, that California's job growth is currently lagging, is false.

California has been outpacing the nation in job growth for a while now, not just 2014--it's only a matter of time before it catches up. The housing crash hit the state unusually hard.

Leave the math for the professionals.

And no, you don't live in a liberal mecca. You live in Northern California-lite with abysmal weather.
