California vs. Nation

California lags behind nation
The U.S. manufacturing sector has endured
huge job losses, but California's situation is worse.
Costs in the state are 23
percent higher than the national average and contribute to
the job gap that leaves more hard-working families in the state
without opportunities for upwardly mobile, high-paying careers.
