Eight of the Nine worse cities for unemployment in the nation are in California–and the ninth, Yuma, Arizona is just a few miles from the worst city in the nation, El Centro!
“El Centro, 32 percent
Yuma, Ariz., 29 percent
Merced, 18 percent
Yuba City, 17 percent
Stockton, 16 percent
Modesto, 16 percent
Fresno, 16 percent
Visalia-Porterville, 16 percent
Hanford-Corcoran, 15 percent”
Note that six of the nine are in the Central Valley–the amateur Arnold, allowing the Feds to stop our water is the main reason the Food Bowl of America is mostly a Dust Bowl.
Proud to be a Californian? Since the mainstream media is refusing to let you know, thought the California Political News and Views should tell the truth.

Gov. Jerry Brown just doesn’t care about California’s legions of unemployed. AP provides a new list of the most unemployed cities in in America, the numbers from August. Except for Yuma, Ariz., Eight of the top nine all are in California.
The very worst is El Centro.
The overall U.S. unemployment rate is 9.1 percent; for California, it’s 12.1 percent.
Here’s the list:
El Centro, 32 percent
Yuma, Ariz., 29 percent
Merced, 18 percent
Yuba City, 17 percent
Stockton, 16 percent
Modesto, 16 percent
Fresno, 16 percent
Visalia-Porterville, 16 percent
Hanford-Corcoran, 15 percent
Brown did declare “war on unemployment.” But his solution: “It’s time for a war on unemployment. Find the jobs, and do so by investing in the renewable energy, the efficiency technologies, the innovative transportation, the land use policies.”
That is, he wants to waste your tax dollars on Crony Green companies that will go bankrupt like Solyndra. And even if they did create jobs, it would take years to do so.
In the meantime, Californians are suffering from Brown’s high-tax, high-regulation, anti-business obsessions.
During his campaign last year, Brown touted his long experience in government, especially his first stint as governor. For once he was right: he’s experienced at destroying California jobs.
