Oregon vs. California
An article on News Geography reports that California is causing a crisis in Oregon. The article states that because of the dire economic situation in California and influx of California residents are making Oregon their new home. This would be a good thing if many of them were skilled workers but the authors worry that many of them are unemployed and have contributed to the rising unemployment rate in Oregon. They are also concerned that with them, these recent immigrants bring the laid back California political attitude of bureaucracy, high taxes and a disregard for economic activity. The authors want to remind Oregonians that "as the population swells, there's no concurrent growth in businesses and employment. Over time, this could pose serious problems. Remember, quality of life begins with a job, preferably a rewarding, well-paying job."
