    The U.S. economy is doing great, something Trump touts to no end. But take out Calif., the base of anti-Trumpism, and the economy looks pretty mediocre, says @Matthew_Winkler https://bloom.bg/2RU3xA5  via @bopinion

        Every alt-righter and Trumpist who says that immigration impoverishes this country should be forced to look at what happens to U.S. economic statistics once you take out the majority-minority states (California, Texas, Hawaii, and New Mexico).

        with IL as a close second- why doesn't that get any news coverage? Also, what do wage growth in CA and IL look like?

        IL a close second in market cap of companies, not in job creation

        creating 14% of the jobs with 12% of the population is great (though I'd need to know more about employment age population structure to be really impressed), but you *do* need the 12% for context

        also, isn't the point of focusing a little on small/medium sized companies that that is where job growth comes from?

        California, digital capital, can flourish in a time of ahistorically low public investment. Conversely, the rest of the country only needs normalization of public investment in this regard: schools, ports, fresh digital infra, rail, subways, enviro-clean-up, to unlock potential.

        They're not measuring aggregate GDP numbers before and after; they're measuring percentage growth before and after.

        How do you explain it also being one of the most unequal? The economic inequality in CA is grotesque.

        More interesting to me is that this is for the non farm economy. We have a large swath of deep red here, which is the farming areas (think Nunez), but these numbers appear to be from the coastal (stereotypically ca) blue portions of the state.

        Ironically the fact that diverse California is doing so well yet the flyover states, not so much, likely drives Trump supporters to be even more rabid.

        Wonder what it looks like if you remove other largely Blue/becoming Blue states- New York, Illinois, Washington State, Massachusetts, Colorado. I’d guess even more anemic.
