From a special report on California by the Economist.
In particular - population share of US vs. employment share of US, plus prison spending vs. university spending.

Behind these cuts is human hardship—poor families who will no longer get subsidised child care to allow the parents to work, old and sick people who no longer receive visits from carers, pupils who sit in larger classes and get less attention, young people who can no longer afford to pay the higher tuition fees of the state universities. And things will get worse before they get better. California will face structural deficits of about $20 billion a year for quite a while, according to Mac Taylor, the state’s non-partisan legislative analyst.
