Never mind that the start date suggests that you're measuring from the time CA gutted the government payrolls to meet the outrageous budget deficit the state faced in 08-11.
I believe Texas governments were also forced to cut payrolls.
Without oil and natural gas Texas would be in the shitter economically. And republican governor Perry and congress and the Baptists have nothing to do with that.
LOL!!! The governor of Texas has been moving jobs and industry there like a wildfire. If you don't like it there, just pull your home to a blue state where you can pay more to park, and "work" MUCH less.
