BREAKING: California’s economy continues to dominate, growing 5% to reach a record GDP of $4.25 trillion in 2025. California outperformed every other state in the nation — continuing a 16-year growth streak and grew faster than the 2nd largest state, Texas.

Citing the region’s unparalleled workforce as a key factor, aerospace startup @hermeuscorp is relocating its headquarters to El Segundo. Learn more about what’s driving the move: latimes.com/business/story…

GOLDEN STATE BOOM! California-based companies overall returned 328% to investors, crushing the equity returns from the world's largest economies: US: 182% China: 89% Germany: 110% Japan: 96% India: 63%

BLOOMBERG: “the Golden State (population 39 million people), just supplanted Japan (123 million) as the fourth-largest economy.”
