COVID-19 and the State Economy

While positive, the August numbers show recovery slowing in California especially when compared to somewhat better numbers in the other states and also when taking into consideration the downward adjustments in the July numbers. As measured by employment, California’s monthly growth was comparable to the other states but did little to close the large gap in overall recovery progress. As measured by jobs, there has only been a small upward shift since June. As in prior months, the August numbers also were rapidly overcome by subsequent events related to the ongoing pandemic crisis.
