Interesting the post on IT specialists leaving with their company. I do know once well paid workers having to leave to find work due to downsizing here, and some for lower cost of living. Silicon Valley is still producing leaders in electronics and data related activities. Stanford grads still do well here in CA. I surmise it is the mid sized and smaller firms suffering the most.
I really see a decline in the middle class and to have mainly coastal elites and the inland empire with its govt workers, the unemployed and govt dependents (social services) as a base to be limiting for a tax base to keep the state afloat.

Scott has to do something he can brag about, at least a little bit. Otherwise he’s on a direct line to leave office next year when Florida voters kick him in the backside.

I am in the IT field. I personally know 3 people at 3 different, large companies that have moved their IT departments to FL. The rest of the company is moving there eventually too. But, they moved the IT departments first because they were naturally more mobile and could still service the majority of company needs remotely. These are the kind of high paying, highly technical jobs we want to keep here in SD/CA.

Out of my 3 friends, one moved to FL, one has found a new position, but he had to take a pay cut and a title demotion to be employed, and the last one has now been unemployed for 18 months.

San Diego’s has had a fantastic growth over the last 20 years (it doesn’t look anything like what I grew up in as a child), and a large part of that growth is attributed to the technical, communication, and life sciences fields that have made their homes here. Deplete the technical base of jobs here in San Diego, and you will see San Diego in a recession unlike any we have seen before.

Yes, ther are companies in health food products whose founders were Berkley or Stanford grads tht started business in Cal, but have since relocated to Fla. A fact of life.

One of my clients in the Health and Wellness field has been HQed in Marin County for the past 2 years. They are moving to Florida within the next 60 days. It’s not a big company, yet, but give it a few years. Those in Sacto continue to bury their heads in the sand and rely on the climate to keep companies here. Dumb, really dumb.
