"California Defies Doom With No. 1 U.S. Economy"

"The Golden State has no peers among developed economies for expanding GDP, creating jobs, raising household income, manufacturing growth, investment in innovation, producing clean energy and unprecedented wealth through its stocks and bonds. All of which underlines Governor Gavin Newsom's announcement last month of the biggest state tax rebate in American history."

"By adding 1.3 million people to its non-farm payrolls since April last year -- equal to the entire workforce of Nevada -- California easily surpassed also-ran Texas. At the same time, California household income increased $164 billion, almost as much as Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania combined"

"While pundits have long insisted California policies are bad for business, reality belies them. In a sign of investor demand, the weight of California companies in the benchmark S&P 500 Index increased 3 percentage points since a year ago, the most among all states"

"For all its bluster as being “best for business,'' Texas can't match California's innovation."
