Comment on California Businesses Stop Hiring

Comments

I can't believe that in a state with 40 million people, there was only 4700 hundred private sector jobs created?

Is this serious?

I'm no democrat but this article seems off.

This data says California created 17 million new jobs.

Wheres the disconnect?

The number "created" in TFA is just the delta in employed over the time period, with every person no longer employed in-state (for any reason) counting against the people newly employed in CA. Click the link in the article to see the graph of CA jobs, there's seasonal fluctuations but overall it looks flat over the last two years.

17.9 million in your link is "Total Jobs (Feb 2023)".
