From what I read the major reasons that people are leaving California are the increasingly high costs of living, housing, and transportation coupled with an increase in crime, pollution, and congestion. Illegal immigration would be connected to some of that but is not the only cause.

Businesses are also fleeing the state as well, citing things like crime, high rents, high taxes, high costs of living for employees, and increasingly onerous business regulations and red tape.

"States With the Highest Average Salaries

New York: $74,870
California: $73,220
When it comes to the highest average salaries, three states stand out: Massachusetts, New York, and California."
