California Gets C on Report Card
Business Times reports: “California’s economic developments effort earn it a grade of C, the Corporation for Enterprise Development said in its annual Development Report Card for the States.”
The Washington, D.C., outfit ranked each state in a dozen categories, and California suffered an F in “amenity resources and natural capital” and an A in four realms: “research efficiency,” “entrepreneurial energy,” “financial resources” and “innovation assets.”
“California has shown that it provides uneven opportunities for its residents,” the organization said. “While extremely high-paying jobs exist for some, many workers in the state find it tough to find and keep a quality, full-time job. State residents also face high urban housing costs and a low home ownership rate.
“California’s entrepreneurial climate is strong, and the state invests heavily in innovative research and businesses,” the report continued. “Though the state has a large number of highly educated workers, its level of investment in K-12 education, as well as its K-12 educational outcomes, are below average. This raises concerns about the preparedness of the next generation of workers for 21st century jobs.”
Not to mention the continued proliferation of moonbats.
The lack of analytical thinking is a direct corollary.
