California is still a pretty good place to do high-value science and engineering, but those don't create enough jobs to make up for the loss of manufacturing. Federal taxes are still a lot bigger burden than state, even in California. So the whole country is losing manufacturing jobs. John

So the whole country is losing manufacturing jobs. Hmm... good point. You're planning to stay in Calfironia until you retire, I expect? My mother -- who's in Wisconsin in the U.S. -- keeps claiming she's going to move to another state just to get away from Wisconsin's high state taxes. My grandparents did this back in 1968, moving to Florida. ---Joel |
