RE: You can tell the United States is in a boom by looking at state tax revenue

in #busy6 years ago

Banking profits were down that year.

Basically New York is dependent on the banking industry, California on tech and Texas on oil. If any of those industries has a downturn, tax revenue turns down.

This is the danger of being odominated by a single industry.

To be fair, California has more than one industry. The tech stuff, the holywood stuff and agriculture.
