In the past 25 years, California's economy faced multiple crises, from Y2K fears to the 9/11 attacks and the Great Recession, yet showed surprising resiliency.
Despite the setbacks, California emerged as a national economic powerhouse, maintaining growth in the private sector with a 30% increase in jobs since 1999.
While California's population growth at 19% was below the national average of 25%, states like Nevada and Utah significantly outpaced it with 81% and 65% increases respectively.
The tech boom of the late 1990s, followed by the dot-com crash and other economic challenges, illustrates California's unique resilience in the face of adversity.
