Opinion: California has structural problems, but they're not nearly as bad economically as the state's critics make them out to be

. Pre-pandemic, the facts do not square with their dismal description.

In February 2020, California’s jobless rate was just 3.9%, scarcely above the nation’s 3.5%. California’s nonfarm payrolls were 1.5% above their year-earlier level, virtually identical to the nation’s 1.6% rise. California’s economy was creating many good-paying jobs in construction, key manufacturing segments, business and professional services, transportation, healthcare and higher education. California remains a leader in technology, which benefits not only Silicon Valley. Tech firms focused on media have a major footprint in Los Angeles, while a biotechnology sector thrives in San Diego.

The coronavirus has hit California hard because of tourism’s importance and the state’s actions to protect its residents’ health. Post-pandemic, the state does need to address fundamental shortcomings, with K-12 education heading the list.However, California was much stronger than Kotkin and Toplansky assert prior to the pandemic and will emerge stronger than they believe once the pandemic ends.
