California’s workforce and economy is like no other. We are home to one of the most diverse and innovative workforces in the country, and we have the fifth-largest economy in the world — but we know that our economy is not working for everyone. Meanwhile, the economic recovery and progress that we have seen since the Great Recession is due squarely to the grit and innovation of our workers. They are the backbone of our thriving community life, and our state government must work hard to ensure that all workers benefit from our state’s economic prosperity.
