More so for California: Employers are able to sustain features of such an
economy because of the massive inflow of cheap labor.

First came beer bottles, then diapers, and then "The Disposable employee".

Use em once, then throw em away.

I would say more because unions are not as strong here as in New York and the East Coast in general. I know an x-ray tech from New York City who has been here two years and is thinking about going back because she cannot find a full-time position with benefits. Out here the mantra is to get by with less workers so as to preserve the bottom line. I am sure the wave will crash upon your shores soon enough.

More to do with democrats running the state.

They're pushing the business out of the state due to the excessive cost of operation here.

Too high of taxes.
Over regulations.
Emploies also need to have higher wages here to live because we get it up the ass too.

Let's not forget Obamacare has been the biggest contributing factor to the temp work exploision.

The strong influence of the Irish preserves the clout of the unions especially
in Manhattan.

California political leaders, starting with Gov. Jerry Brown, should be popping the champagne corks: the state has rebounded enough to surpass Italy and Russia and reclaim its title as the world’s eight’s largest economy in 2013, according to a new study by the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy.

The study, released Thursday, cited “California’s strong job gains in 2013 combined with the recent IMF forecast that most of Europe will remain in recession this year” as reasons that the Golden State will move up in its rankings this year.

Republican or Democrat business men want cheap labor in all sectors of the
economy.

Check the lobbying to bring in hi tech workers.
