Damn Cali's Economy is the Shit

(1/9) > >>

Just Another Sunny day in California:
"As of 2005, California has the sixth largest economy in the world.  The gross state product (GSP) is about $1.55 trillion ($1,550,000,000,000, as of 2004), making it greater than that of every other U.S. state, and most countries in the world"

Cali is doing it big no doubt  8)

Suga Foot:
The predominant industry in the state, more than twice as large as the next, is agriculture, (including fruit, vegetables, dairy, and wine). California agriculture brought in $27 billion in revenue in 2000.[1] Total farming-related sales in California were $26 billion in 2002.[2]

Agriculture is followed by:

    * aerospace

    * entertainment, primarily television by dollar volume, although many movies are still made in California

    * light manufacturing including computer hardware and software, and the mining of borax.

California also draws significant revenue from international trade and tourism. The exports of goods made in California totaled $94 billion in 2003.[3] Nearly $40 billion of that total was computers and electronics, followed by agriculture, non-electrical machinery, transportation, and chemicals.[4] Total direct travel spending in California reached $82.5 billion in 2004, a 7.4% increase over the preceding year.[5] Los Angeles County receives the most tourism in the state.[6]

Historically, California's economy has been controlled by huge corporations such as the Southern Pacific Railroad, Standard Oil of California and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

It's not that it isn't known.  People know about Napa Valley, and a lot of produce comes from California, but when you hear California, the average person doesn't think of farming
