#2 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

People with jobs are employed.

People who are jobless, looking for jobs, and available for work are unemployed.

People who are neither employed nor unemployed are not in the labor force.

#4 Yup, every time California raises its minimum wage, unemployment goes up.

Over a period of 13 months, from December 2006 to January 2008, the minimum wage went from $6.75 to $8.00 and unemployment skyrocketed with it.

#6 When the money really does finally run out and the welfare/support checks are not in the mail, watch a big chunk of that sucking at the tit finally disappear from the area like fleeing cockroaches when the lights go on. Which raises the thought, what will cost more, bailing out CA or being stuck with the non-working class that squats on your community [with the associated other social activities they bring with them]?
