Photo by Miguel Gutierrez Jr., CalMattersWhile much of the nation is enjoying a vigorous economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, California is falling behind with scant job growth.
In January, when the labor bureau conducted its annual revision of employment data, replacing previous estimates with hard numbers, it found that California’s picture was markedly darker than had been reported earlier. The same poll also found that Newsom’s approval rating among Californians had dropped to 46%, which may partially explain why his ballot measure fared so poorly despite spending $15 million on the campaign., driven mostly by an outflow of people to other states with more vibrant economic prospects and lower living costs. Texas is the No. 1 destination for ex-Californians.
