Marathon Pundit: California unemployment rate highest since 1940

The fruits of California's liberal government--led by its cooperative RINO governor--has made a real mess of things in the tarnished state. It's unemployment rate is the highest its been since 1940.

Two days I wrote about how the construction of wind farms in California has slowed--because of opposition to them by environmentalists, wind isn't cheap anymore.

But the Los Angeles Times just doesn't get it:

California's unemployment rate is well above the national rate of 9.7%. And it's the fourth-highest in the nation; only Michigan, Nevada and Rhode Island, at 15.2%, 13.2% and 12.8%, respectively, are faring worse. Unemployment will not decline until industries such as renewable energy, (emphasis mine) healthcare and construction experience significant growth, economists say. Most don't expect that any time soon.
