   They control 41% of all jobs statewide, were responsible for 52% of   
   2019-23 job creation, and pay 56% of total wages.   
      
   The number of big California employers – defined by yours truly as   
   bosses with 100 or more workers – dropped by 222 in the four years ended   
   March 2023.   
      
   This loss – only 1% of the statewide total – may not be the business   
   exodus certain California critics complain about. But that’s what my   
   trusty spreadsheet found after reviewing federal employment data   
   tracking workplaces and workers through unemployment insurance filings   
   between the first quarters of 2019 and 2023.   
      
   The stats showed 29 states had a net decline in their roster of big   
   establishments – and only two places lost more than California over four   
   years: New York, down 344, and Ohio, off 229. The No. 4 drop was   
   Pennsylvania, off 202, then Illinois, off 198.
