Synopsis: For those who say people are moving away from California, the numbers simply do not bare out this theory. The state grew approx. 1% in a single year, even while the economy faltered and the State of California suffered a greater percent of job losses than most other states. One of the largest deficits of any single state in the U.S. did not seem to curb population increases either.
