As California sees itself at the cusp of a substantial change with the upcoming recall election, Newsom and his constituents are pining for any scrap of evidence that he has contributed to the good of California. His most recent ploy relates to a job-creation effort that is leading the nation. \u201cCalifornia continues to lead the nation\u2019s economic recovery, adding 114,400 new jobs in July \u2013 more new jobs than any other state, and the fourth time this year of six-figure job gains.\u201d
Newsom has spun this in a positive light, but he has neglected to add that California is still running second place for the highest unemployment rate in the nation despite this growing number.
At a whopping 7.6% unemployment rate, California is tied with both New Mexico and New York for this statistic, meaning that approximately 3,000,000 people are without jobs. Thus despite \u201cleading the nation\u2019s economic recovery,\u201d California still has much to go before attaining economic sustainability on par with the Trump Administration\u2019s prosperity in years prior. However, with Newsom at the helm, such goals will most likely never come to fruition based on his former track record over the first spike of the Pandemic.
This fact was notably pointed out by the California Republican Party\u2019s Chairwoman, Jessica Millan Patterson. She tweeted Monday in response to Newsom\u2019s statistics that \u201cGavin Newsom\u2019s CA isn\u2019t \u2018roaring back,\u2019 it\u2019s barely scraping by,\u201d following up with the shocking statistic that CA makes up 21.4% of new unemployment claims in the nation, despite only accounting for only 11.7% of its workforce.
It is important to note that many people speculate unemployment rates will drop following the weekly $300 unemployment benefit extensions ending on Sept. 4. As this date nears, along with the much-anticipated recall election, Californians are desperate to see any long-lasting changes to the government and the economy.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
