| | For this reason, no major new factories have been built in California for many years, and the state suffers a severe lack of good-paying manufacturing jobs. | | | Manufacturing costs are made even higher by high land and housing prices, which cause workers to need very high pay. | | | This means that the middle class in California consists almost entirely of small businesspeople and construction and transportation workers, with a small leavening of knowledge workers -- a nearly pure service economy. |

| | In Gregory's day, great moral and religious forces, beloved by the people, must have been leavening the country, counterbalancing the brute force and immorality of the Frankish kings, and saving the strong new race from wasting away in civil strife. | | | From Gregory's account, however, one could scarcely conclude that the people were altogether satisfied with their religion. |
