California’s overregulated job market is falling behind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
California had roughly 224,000 fewer employed residents in July 2026 than in February 2020, just before the pandemic. Over the same period, Texas added approximately 1.66 million employed residents and Florida added 605,000.

So, it appears that the bullet t
