Comment: California's unemployment rate is higher than the national

Average
10.2 pct according to your beloved BLS vs 7.9 pct nationwide

And the bls counts underemployed and part time workers as "employed" and it doesn count those that have given up work living in their parents' basements.
The official BLS under e,ployment rate in Kalifornia is nearly 20pct-yes, a fine job those schools are doing boosting the economy!

California public colleges are not turning out graduates with engineering skills they a re turning out mind mush

It does not justify a 13 pct tax rate no matter how you slice it
