California’s high poverty rate, low wages and frayed public safety net require a new “social compact” between workers, business and government, according to a report by a blue-ribbon commission that highlights the state's widening inequality.

“Too many Californians have not fully participated in or enjoyed the benefits of the state’s broader economic success and the extraordinary wealth generated here, especially workers of color who are disproportionately represented in low-wage industries,” the report says.

Unlike similar reports published by nonprofit and business groups in recent years, the California report does not mainly focus on commonly cited forces of economic disruption, including automation and skills gaps, she said.

“It takes a different tack: It’s about improving the quality of jobs. And what has to happen is that workers need more power in the workplace.”

At least a million jobs could be created in clean energy technologies, residential solar and electric cars, it added, furthering Newsom’s initiatives to combat climate change.

There is no effing way to create 1 million jobs in California through those idiotic programs.

You people are a joke

Meanwhile a while back CA didn’t have the funds to pay teachers; they were paid with vouchers - money for illegals continued however.

Show us how it's done, Gav. Use your family wealth to start businesses and pay your workers those high wages you're talking about.

Start with your family winery. How much are you paying your workers?
