&lt;b&gt;Also, few journos note, when mentioning California’s unemployment rate, that we have fewer government workers per capita than all but four other states. &lt;/b&gt;

No kidding, we cannot AFFORD any more  because CA government employees are averaging $200K per year in compensation. Highest compensated public employees in the nation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Speaking of cost of living adjustments....

&quot;And few journos outside of the Sacramento Bee and U-T San Diego cite how poorly California does in the alternative federal measure of poverty that is adjusted for cost of living.
When that is factored in, the Golden State has by far the highest poverty rate in the U.S. at around 23 percent.&quot;

Also, few journos note, when mentioning California&#039;s unemployment rate, that we have fewer government workers per capita than all but four other states.

AND, average pay for California state workers is HIGHEST of all the states.


But: 


&quot;when you take into consideration the state’s higher cost of living and compare public employee pay to the state’s overall personal income, California’s rank is below average at #35.&quot;

Ca allgov October 4, 2012

The cost is below average.......and the glass is AT LEAST half full.]]></description>
