Then this stat should be seriously troubling https://beaconecon.com/products/employment_report

The latest release from the California EDD shows that the state accounted for nearly one-fifth of all job gains in the nation in March, according to an analysis released jointly by Beacon Economics and the UCR School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development.

Yes, 20% of all new jobs in the USA are in California. May have to look at census data to see immigration rates into California.

Gary, I think that you are either knocking me, or are knocking Texas. Texas obeys and goes by US Federal regulations and law in regards to tip pooling and minimum wages. Don't look at Austin, TX... Look at Washington D.C.

Austin can change it if they want to, but because Austin can get away with it they don't? Doesn't make it moral does it? (you already answered that, so never mind)

1. Troubling? Not at all. The population of California is about 39 million, about 50% more than the population of Texas, about 28 million.

The job gains March 2016 to March 2017 for California is 346,400. This gives a per-capita jobs gain of 0.00888 for that 12 month period.

Over the same period, the job gains in Texas was 249,000, giving a per-capita jobs gain of 0.00889 for that 12 month period.

The per-capita job gain rate for Texas is roughly equivalent to, and maybe slightly BETTER than, that of California.

Worrying? Not really.

Then you have just explained why the rust belt will never have jobs, the people don't live there.

2. You expect morality from GOVERNMENT????? Heh.

Aren't they all bible thumping morality tea party types who are always telling you how to live your life? Things like don't LBGTQ, don't abort, don't smoke weed ... I mean they aren't liberals who say do anything you want? I mean I wouldn't expect morals out of a liberal government, but a bible fearing church going conservative one?

You lot apparently forgot it too. Were not you lot still 'blackbirding' until about 1900? hmm?

Yes maybe , so what .:)

But we are trying to make up now . We did start off as a penal Colony . All true ozzy's are crime's :)

What's your excuse Hmmmmmm ! :)

Pretty much the same as yours... Britain dumped a LOT of its criminals over here. They didn't start shipping them THERE until they couldn't ship them HERE (after 1776).

About 10% of ALL migrants to what is now the USA (then it was British Colonies) between 1718 and 1775 were British Convicts sentenced to 'transportation'...

Howdy, little brother. :)

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.
