People who formerly regarded California almost as far away as Alaska, now drive out for a summer or winter vacation without thinking of the matter twice. What these people have seen, they have liked. They have gone home and told their families and friends, and the biggest population shift of this century thus began. The Census Bureau predicts that during the next ten years this trek to California will continue unabated. It is not the purpose of this book to persuade people to come to California. Several millions are already persuaded, and are eagerly waiting to head West in a mass exodus that will dwarf every other migration in the country's history. The purpose of this book is to give as much information as possible about what these people may expect to find when they reach California. What are the facts, the figures, the attractions, the opportunities, and what are the disad vantages and hazards of life in the Golden State? To begin with, what is the truth about California's vaunted climate? What are her many very distinctive cities like? Which of her industries are still rapidly expanding and seeking for workers? What are the rates of pay for different kinds of work in California? What is the cost of living? What are the opportunities for jobs, for an education, for culture, for enjoyment? What about state old-age pensions and retirement funds? What kinds of farming and small business ven tures offer the greatest possibilities for a return on work and invest ment? The three and a half million people who will be moving to California to live during the next ten years, and the many millions more who will visit the state during that same period, will want to know the answers to these questions, and to dozens more like them. The purpose of this book is to try to give honest answers to them all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
