A new Census Bureau report reveals that about 100,000 more people are leaving California than are coming to the state. Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation says, "we're moving in the right direction" when it comes to adding jobs in California. When that happens, he says the migration numbers will likely turn around. Conan Nolan reports from Downtown LA for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on December 10, 2012.

About 100,000 more people moved away from California in 2011 than relocated to the Golden State, according to the latest report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The trend can be explained, in part, in monetary terms. Even in an economic boom, the cost of living in California has increased, prompting people to move out, and, in recent years, unemployment in the state has skyrocketed.

So, where are these former Californians going?

The Census Bureau calculates that the most popular destination is Texas (58,992), a state that is luring California companies. That’s followed by Arizona (49,635), Nevada (40,114), Washington (38,421) and Oregon (34,214).

Although in smaller numbers, people are still relocating to the Golden State.

Texans make up the largest number of translates to California with 37,387 people, according to the report. That is followed by people from Washington (36,481), Nevada (36,159), Arizona (35,650), and New York (25,269).

Economic experts are optimistic that California’s economy has started picking up steam, and may reverse the movement out of the state.

“We expect over the next couple of years that we will add jobs,” said Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist with the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. "This year, we’ve added jobs in California at a faster pace than in the nation as a whole. So, we are moving in right direction. As that happens, we’ll see the migration numbers turn around some."

A major facet of the state's economy, the agriculture industry has been affected by fewer undocumented immigrants crossing the border, deterred from coming to the U.S. because of high unemployment and a developing middle class in Mexico.

According to the Census Bureau, 468,428 people have moved to California from other states and 269,772 have moved to the state from other countries.

If one wants to see the future, it is California. It is now a majority-minority state — meaning whites no longer constitute the ethnic majority. The land of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan is but a memory. The GOP has become a political rump. The Democrats, with their coalition of labor unions, environmentalists, homosexuals, single women, blacks and Hispanics, dominate state politics. If amnesty is passed, large swathes of America — Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Virginia — will resemble California ethnically, demographically and eventually, politically. The Republicans will be doomed to national minority status.

Texas welcomes all constitutional, freedom loving Americans,...just DON'T bring that liberal California attitude with you! We've got enough problems of our own. By the way, if Open Carry laws scare you, one might reconsider moving here. Looks like it might be passed but time will tell. We can only hope.

Top 10 Cities Losing Population Since 2000 in the United States

• by Tom Royce

To watch majestic cities decline is never fun. New Orleans took it’s hit with the natural devastation of Hurricane Katrina and can come back, but what will happen to great cities like Detroit that are crumbling under the mismanagement of auto executives and union representatives?

The rust belt cities have taken a huge hit during the last decade as industry leaves and people flee for better opportunities. The crashing of cities like Cleveland and Cincinnati have slid under the radar of Detroit’s epic fall. Even mighty Chicago has lost 200,000 residents.

What is even worse for these cities is they all have huge public works infrastructures that are driving taxes even higher as their populace flees. Most of the cities are highly unionized in both the public and private sector so there is very little flexibility to improvise and improve their lot.

Instead, they watch their mobile, productive citizens flee and are left trying to keep the cities moving forward.
