Taking the Pulse of California’s Economy
California is a global economic powerhouse, but the state faces a multitude of challenges—from uncertainty around federal policies to technological transformation to cost-of-living realities. How can California leaders promote an economy that benefits all residents? Join PPIC for a discussion on the health of our state’s economy. *** PPIC is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.
