I stand corrected. I was wrong! It appears CA jobs are rising faster than the national average. Having 34% of welfare recipients while having 12% of the population makes no sense either, if I was on welfare I would not be living in one of the most expensive states. I would move to Utah or Texas. I guess a lot of it is from personal experience, I have the job I have now partly because the company I worked for was threatening to move to Tennessee. Don’t know if they ever did, I try not to look back and prefer to look forward instead.
