To refresh our recollection, "unemployment rate" is a fraction (percentage) where the numerator is the number of people actively looking for work, and the denominator is the total work force. People who have given up looking are not counted in either the numerator or denominator.
While there are a ton of jobs available in California (which, culturally, is at least four separate "states"), few of them pay enough money to even support someone living in a Group Home. The high cost of living breeds something close to despair among working class folks, a large percentage of whom will NEVER own a home unless some relative happens to bequeath one to them.
There are a lot of reasons to love living in California - mainly related to the climate and natural resources - but there are also many reasons to want to GTFO. I fervently hope that a large plurality of the wretched third-worlders whom Biden has invited into our midst settle in California, so as not to fuck up the Electoral count in the future.
