The job loss would be by companies moving out of state.  With employees 
taking two or three hours to get to work and repeating that time going home, 
their productivity would be so low that companies would have to relocate to 
where there are sane, rational laws.

Your job would most likely also go away with the collapse of the California 
economy.   You might still be able to get a job as a farm worker along side 
all the illegal immigrants where you would dreams of making a minimum wage 
some day.

You must remember that your jerk off fantasy of 19th century transportation 
will probably result in the reality of doing terrible 19th century labor.
