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.

Might be nice if kids would learn to read and write and do ciphers in school.

Why does California have a high unemployment rate, high poverty rate and a frayed public safety net? Who's been running this state?

Ah, well. At least we have a world public education system.

Carp. Now I got beer and snot all over my 'puter screen. Thanks a lot, me.

Like most libturds, Newsom is so full of crap, you can probably smell him from where ever you are.

Governor Newsome needs to make reparation for the five million jobs he destroyed playing doctor on TV.

With his personal funds.

Duh, what state doesn't?

And they needed a commission to come up with this?
