From the Bay Area to Southern California, communities are facing different prospects for recovery based on the coronavirus pandemic and the impact it’s making on workforce trends and government revenues, as well as the state’s prior economic development trajectory.
In our fourth “Future of Work” event, we are talking with mayors around the state about how they plan to confront their communities’ most pressing issues in housing, healthcare, education, and jobs displacement. What are the greatest challenges and opportunities they’re facing in getting people back to work during this COVID-19 crisis? How are cities communicating with one another to share best practices? And how can regional collaboration help alleviate major economic disparities as we enter a new year?
