  • Higher densities in California's urban regions are necessary to house projected job and population growth.

Smart Public Investment for the California Economy

  • The state's infrastructure deficits hurt our economy and quality of life.
  • Infrastructure investment is a partnership involving federal, state, regional and local public agencies as well as the private sector.
  • The state government is a key infrastructure partner in terms of planning and coordination.
  • Future growth is an important determinant of infrastructure needs but California would have a serious infrastructure deficit even if job and population growth slow.
  • With a $1 trillion+ economy, California can afford to fund infrastructure investments that improve our economy, environment and social equity.

Shared Prosperity and the California Economy

  • Workforce investment will be increasingly important for maintaining economic prosperity in California.
  • Workforce investment can best meet the needs of workers and employers by focusing on move-up strategies and career ladder development.
  • New and innovative workforce partnerships are the key to success.
  • Workforce partnerships should focus on
    1. regional labor markets
    2. specific industry opportunities
    3. significant private sector involvement
    4. a key role for community colleges.
  • California's workforce investment strategy should be universal, providing opportunities to all workers, but a good starting focus is on the working poor.
