69 more companies move jobs from California
Orange County Register ^ | 4-15-11 | Jan Norman

Posted on 04/15/2011 8:15:49 AM PDT by freedombiz

So far this year, 69 companies have moved all or part of their California work and jobs to other states or countries, reports Irvine relocation consultant Joe Vranich. It’s the fastest rate of departures since Vranich started tracking the exodus in 2009, he says. There have been an average of 4.7 moves per week from Jan. 1 through April 12, compared to 3.9 moves in all of 2010.

California's elected officials keep saying Vranich is blowing smoke, business departures aren't a problem for the state. Who do you believe?

Whom to believe? Lessee - on one hand a professional specialist in company relocations or the same folks who consistently pass laws that burden the productive with ever increasing taxes.

Thats a tough one.

I'm surprised Californian elected officials found time to comment, as busy as they are passing a gay indoctrination in public schools bill.

And California can chock on all that “clean air”. LOL!!! This is what happens when you see employers as a way to finance BIG government instead of a way to provide jobs to your citizens.

Looks like that cheap Mexican labor thing is failing as well as California leadership.
California the mother ship of how to to everything wrong.

Californian’s moving to other states will find housing prices considerably lower so many of these companies’ employees may be willing to follow.

Looks like TX is the big winner so far.

I saw an article where CA is sending a delegation to TX to gain insight into what TX’s big secret to business growth is lol.

How do you pay for a liberal parasite paradise, without the productive people to pay for it?

I don’t think California has anything to worry about, I drive all over SoCal Daily and there seems to be 2 very Large Companies opening up Everywhere, I am not quite sure what they make or sell or do, but they appear to have thousands of locations popping up On every Main Street I go down, sometimes 5 or 6 on the same block, the names of these HUGE COMPANIES are “ For Lease” and “ Space Available”.

My SIL’s company closed their offices in SF and transferred him to Texas. The COL was so much lower, he feels like he got a pay raise.

What may save America are Red States who are openly and aggressively willing to compete with the Communist Blue states for businesses.

A child could see what Texas’ “big secret” is:

A markedly decreased Union presence, and a friendlier regulatory climate, featuring a government not stuffed with useless bureaucrats making “work” for themselves on the backs of the productive.

“And California can choke on all that “clean air”.”

The local Indigenous (Indians) people referred to the San Joaquin Valley as “The Valley of Smoke” long before industrialization, long before White people arrived in California. We are talking what!? about one hundred sixty years ago? Long before Barbecues Galore, and Craftsman riding mowers anyway.

Water Vapors. The coastal mountain range that holds in the Water vapers causing the haze we see.

Oklahoma is closed. We don't want them. They bring their liberal, fruit cake ideas with them. Just ask Oregon, Wash State, Denver, Tulsa, Austin, Nashville, etc.
