California Leads Nation in Job Creation

a completely unsurprising statistic (2.00 / 1)

California has 38 million people, a lot more than Texas, Oregon, and West Virginia combined.

I am tired of stories claiming that California has the most of something, whether that something is good or bad, without considering that California is by far the post populous state (Texas is a distant second with 26 million).

Californians also have more fingers and toes than Texans, Oregonians, and West Virginians combined.

A Good Example of High Tech Leading to Blue Collar Work (5.00 / 1)

Here's an article on the San Francisco construction boom:

http://www.spur.org/publicatio...

Twenty-two tower cranes dot the city. By year's end, there will be 26. Many of these cranes are for public projects rather than private development, yet these numbers are staggering by any historic standards. Local union halls' out-of-work lists are empty, and some unions are even calling in workers from other parts of the country.

I've worked in the computer field in the Bay Area for 22 years, most of it commuting to various soul-sucking office parks in Santa Clara County.  I'm now working in the city on Market, and loving it.  Loving the fact I am not in a car for 10 hours a week.  Loving that there are places nearby to which I can walk.
