    World’s fifth largest economy
    California is the 5th largest economy in the world for the seventh consecutive year, with a nominal GDP of nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023 and a growth rate of 6.1% since the year prior, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. On a per capita basis, California is the second largest economy in the world among large economies.

    Highest level of tourism spending
    California has the largest market share of tourism in the nation. Travel spending in the state reached an all-time high of $150.4 billion last year, surpassing the record $144.9 billion spent in 2019 – spending that is 3.8% higher than 2019 and 5.6% higher than 2022.

    The new travel-spending record generated $12.7 billion in state and local tax revenue by visitors in 2023, marking a 3% increase over 2019. Tourism created 64,900 new jobs in 2023, bringing total industry employment to 1,155,000.

    Increasing population
    California’s population increased by 67,000 people last year to 39,128,162, according to data by the California Department of Finance. The state’s population growth can be attributed to an increase in legal foreign immigration and natural population increasing. This is the first year since 2020 that the state has seen a net increase.

    Governor Newsom signed the fast food minimum wage bill into law.

    Most companies on the Fortune 500 list
    For the first time since 2014, California is home to the most Fortune 500 companies in the country – beating out Texas, Florida, and all other states. From tech to finance to entertainment, the state’s diverse economy has 57 companies on the list, while Texas and New York are tied in second with 52 companies each.

    Businesses are expanding
    Last month, Visa opened up their new state-of-the-art headquarters in San Francisco. They are one of countless companies to recently announce new investments in the Golden State. Hamdi Ulukaya also announced he is re-establishing Anchor Brewing, Nintendo is opening up its second U.S. store in San Francisco, and Disneyland is expanding its theme park with a $1.9 billion investment.

    This is kind of a misleading article.
    There are a lot of qualifiers if you read the proposal.

    But I will say this is straight red meat for those in the camp of, I worked my ass of to get where I'm at. And now others get it for free.

    The only time I ever heard my wife say anything negative about the Democratic party was when she paid off her student loans after MANY years and then it was proposed to have student loan forgiveness. She was pissed.
    Don't know if that is apples to oranges. But I'm suspecting that is the nerve that is being pinched for some.

    I guess this does not effect me. But to be honest it would bother me if it was a straight giveaway.
