Methinks their stats are skewed. I believe jobs are still be lost "left and right" though admittedly, it has slowed down. Anything above 5-7%, however, is completely unacceptable to trying to live in California - period. Our population (thanks to "yahoo wild" immigration) is burgeoning. No one caps services to the illegals and immigrants whatsoever. Citizens who've lived here for years are challenged by the number of services lost to them becaue of the preceeding comments...It's pathetic. I can't think of a utility or monthly bill that HASN'T increased SUBSTANTIALLY in the past two years (the increases have been rather large).

So I'll reserve my "Three cheers" for significant improvement when it truly DOES arrive...and I suspect that's a way's off.

Thank these greedy business owners for all this "yahoo immigration." They would rather pay someone 50 cents an hour than pay an American minimum wage. If you really want to crack down on illegal immigration, heavily fine these businesses that higher them. The way things are going here, we may be the one's crossing the boarder looking for work!
