The stall of one industry – creator of cutting-edge products and sky-high salaries – is roughly California’s entire GDP slowdown.

It’s not a stretch to say that much of California’s economic slowdown can be tied to technology’s tumble.

Let’s look at what’s dubbed “information” – the creator of cutting-edge products and sky-high salaries.

But growth decelerated to $8 billion a year in this recent cooling.
