Nice to see Californians finally taking all those part-time crap jobs that were once only done by illegals.

I wonder is this ^^^ post a lie, ignorance, or both?

Post

1. Post one for a lie
2. Post two for ignorance***
3. Post three for both a lie and ignorance***

Designate your vote on ignorance in 2 & 3 as either willful, or the result of being dropped on his/her head repeatedly.

Good job California!
Excerpts from the link:
California adds 41,200 jobs in October; unemployment rate is lowest since 2007
"California is doing much stronger than the U.S.," he said. "It's a strong report. It's very broad-based job creation, with the exception of manufacturing."
Slowing in the energy sector has also led to cutbacks for manufacturers that supply equipment used in oil and gas exploration, Adibi said.
L.A. County posted job growth of 2% over the last year -- among the slowest of all major metro areas in the state. Job growth in L.A. County is typically not as swift as other areas because it has an enormous job base -- more than 4.3 million nonfarm payroll employees as of last month."

Here is another source reporting job growth in California:
California Adds More Than 35,000 Private Sector Jobs in January | NewsRadio KFBK
"The bad news there is that many of these are low-wage jobs, and that's where we've got to improve in the state of California. We need to be creating more jobs in that manufacturing sector," Smith said.
Only 800 jobs were added to the manufacturing sector."

California adds 41,200 jobs in October; unemployment rate is lowest since 2007

October's faster job growth for California mirrors that of the U.S., which posted a healthy gain of 271,000 jobs last month -- much more than in September.

California has added jobs at a rate of 2.9% over the last year, faster than the 2% growth rate for the U.S. overall.

The fastest gains over the last year have come in the construction industry, which posted a 7.3% gain since last October, and professional and business services, up 5.3%.

Since the Great Recession sent California's unemployment above 12% in 2010 -- higher than every state except Michigan and Nevada -- the state's economic rebound has been swift. For the last three years, California has added jobs at a rate faster than all but five other states.

SoCal economic forecast: More businesses coming than going

Thornberg said Southern California could be doing more to attract business, but for now at least, most executives feel the positives of being here, such as quality of living and proximity to tech and film companies and key ports, outweigh the negatives, like higher taxes and housing costs.

CA's one problem now is unfunded pensions. And new hires are not receiving the same retirement package us Boomers received,

Thus my kids started their own Roth IRA's years ago when my retirement came under fire by the press.

For a while agencies competed for each other's employees less by salary and more by offering much better benefits. It costs a good deal to vet a LE Officer, and if one has already had a comprehensive background check it was cheaper in the short run to pirate that officer; he or she would need much less training and not the extensive background investigation necessary for someone hired off the street.

Strange, I could have sworn Jerry has been the governor for nearly five years now and the Democrats have controlled the state legislature for almost 20 years, but no matter. This is the state equivalent of blaming Bush.

In new research for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Senior Research Fellow Eileen Norcross ranks each US state’s financial health based on short- and long-term debt and other key fiscal obligations, including unfunded pensions and health care benefits. The study, which builds on previous Mercatus research about state fiscal conditions, provides information from the states’ audited financial reports in an easily accessible format, presenting an accurate snapshot of each state’s fiscal health.

With new spending commitments for Medicaid and growing long-term obligations for pensions and health care benefits, states must be ever vigilant to consider both the short- and long-term consequences of policy decisions. Understanding how each state is performing in regard to a variety of fiscal indicators can help state policymakers as they make these decisions.

A closer analysis of the individual metrics behind the ranking shows how each state’s fiscal condition should be assessed. Notably, nearly all states have unfunded pension liabilities that are large relative to state personal income, indicating that all states need to take a closer look at their unfunded pensions, which represent a significant portion of each state’s economy. Another financial crisis could mean serious trouble for many states that are otherwise fiscally stable.

California losing 9,000 HQs and expansions is probably true... as far as it goes but, as usual with rightwing and Republican news (bizjournals.com/dallas/blog) sources, a snippet of truth can be bound together with the thread of a lie or, as in this case taken out of context via omission. It's never good news when any business chooses to leave your home area but if the authors had been reporters instead of ideological pundits they would have completed the story, i.e. they would have pointed out that...

More Mexicans Leaving Than Coming to the U.S.

Net Loss of 140,000 from 2009 to 2014; Family Reunification Top Reason for Return
By Ana Gonzalez-Barrera

Mexican immigrants have been at the center of one of the largest mass migrations in modern history. Between 1965 and 2015 more than 16 million Mexican immigrants migrated to the United States – more than from any other country (Pew Research Center, 2015. In 1970, fewer than 1 million Mexican immigrants lived in the U.S. By 2000, that number had grown to 9.4 million, and by 2007 it reached a peak at 12.8 million. Since then, the Mexican-born population has declined, falling to 11.7 million in 2014, as the number of new arrivals to the U.S. from Mexico declined significantly (Passel et al., 2012; meanwhile the reverse flow to Mexico from the U.S. is now higher.

At some point they'll stop blaming Obama for the horrible economy and start crediting the GOP Governors for the improving economy.

They will go from, "The bad economy is Obama's fault" to "The President doesn't have anything to do with it".
