  3. Now take out all the unmotivated blobs hired to administer Obamacare, and see where that leaves you...
     
  4. Never mind that the start date suggests that you're measuring from the time CA gutted the government payrolls to meet the outrageous budget deficit the state faced in 08-11.

    All the new jobs added just refilled the jobs temporarily lost. CA employment levels are probably the same as they were in 2007, especially in the professional and government fields.

    Statistics...
    Fiction...

    I can't tell the difference. All I know is, no matter what conclusion you want, there's a statistic readily available to meet your needs... Even one's that refute common sense.

    I believe Texas governments were also forced to cut payrolls.
     
  6. Without oil and natural gas Texas would be in the shitter economically. And republican governor Perry and congress and the Baptists had nothing to do with that.

    LOL!!! The governor of Texas has been moving jobs and industry there like a wildfire. If you don't like it there, just pull your home to a blue state where you can pay more to park, and "work" MUCH less.
     
  8. I love it here. Just stating fact our economy is fueled by oil and natural gas. If it weren't for those we'd be in the shitter like a lot of other states. Just stating the facts man.

    Development of oil and natural gas in a 16-county region of West Texas added more than $14.5 billion in total economic impact during 2012, according to a study released today by the Center for Community and Business Research in The University of Texas at San Antonio Institute for Economic Development. Additionally, the region supported 21,450 full-time jobs for workers in oil and gas, drilling, support operations, pipeline construction, refineries and petrochemicals.

    Highlights of the UTSA study concluded that in 2012 the region generated:
    •$1 billion in salaries and benefits paid to workers
    •$6.2 billion in gross regional product (value added)
    •$472 million in state revenue, including $187.4 million in severance taxes
    •$447 million in local government revenue
