Yeah, but, just look at that chart! California isn't shaped any differently than anyone else. It's always been somewhat higher on this metric, it was before the pandemic and it is now. But you'd absolutely not look at that chart with fresh eyes and flag it as an outlier. At all. It's doing what the rest of the labor market is doing. Really no state is particularly weird, which is about what you'd expect for a very fluid intra-national labor force.
