SACRAMENTO—Rob Lapsley, president of the California Business Roundtable, co-wrote a guest opinion piece with BizFed Founding CEO Tracy Hernandez, in today's edition of CalMatters, calling for the transition to an 'endemic' economy that is more predictable and stable.

"A pandemic, by its nature, is chaotic and unpredictable. Over the past 18 months, “unprecedented” has become the norm. Employers and employees were left wondering week after week if they would stay open, close, hire, lay off or even survive.

But as we look to move from economic recovery to growth, we must start building economic and public policies that allow us to live and work safely alongside a virus undoubtedly to become endemic and part of our lives, likely for years to come."
