Texas Has Record High Employment Levels While California Declines

Mark Perry reports on employment in Texas:
increased for the eighth straight month in January. The gain of more than than 35,000 jobs was the largest monthly increase in almost ten years, and brings total employment in Texas to a record high level of 11,094,500 in January
While in California:
started the year with another monthly loss of 17,500 jobs in January, marking the 24th straight months of job losses going back to February 2008. From the January 2008 peak, California has shed 1,222,192 jobs over the last two years, and now has the lowest employment level (15.85 million) since December 1999, more than ten year ago.
The union driven big government model doesn't seem to be working.
