A 30% increase in workmens comp ? Something is really wrong with this picture. Two of my neighbors are on disibility, one still works the other sits on her ass and does nothing. Both are in fine health.

More firms to flee inhospitable CA, and more workers to leave overpriced CA.
I saw a real estate advertisement in the LA Times last year. The mainline was "Starter Homes Under $400,000." Starter homes? WTF? What middle-classers have $80,000 to put down on such a home, plus a spare $1,000 per month JUST for property taxes? Like Seattle, home prices are out of control, and people cannot afford $2,000 a month for rent.
SWEEPING GENERALIZATION ALERT: Whomever expects first-time home-buyers to save up $80,000 cash, in the land of expensive-everything, is smoking something.
