Thank you for this Fact! CA being such a huge economy by itself is astounding. One question I have is, is the GDP of the US in this table with or without CA included?
Sad that over half of the people in California can’t afford to live in most of the state at this point with the cost of living. Sacrifice I guess is a huge part of profit.
