California is an expensive place to live. Wages need to be much higher just to survive there. Even a nurse starting at over $60K would not have enough income to buy a modest house! How can one state have such a huge economic disconnect from the rest of the country? $30K per year is below the poverty level? Good Grief!

Yes, here it is. In the rest of the country 30K a year would be a decent income. Not in California. One can burn through that money in a year.
