Sacramento Bee-
California labor and economic leaders in a new report are calling for a “social compact” for workers, including ideas such as generating a million new jobs in clean energy and providing a federal and state jobs guarantee by 2030.
Those were few of the ideas outlined in a report published Tuesday by the state’s Future of Work Commission, a group of leaders appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 to look at how California can prepare its economy for the next decade and beyond.
Its research began before the coronavirus pandemic sent the state’s economy spiraling last year, a crisis that members said underscored the urgency of the commission’s recommendations.
