Today, on Workers Memorial Day, we honor the many workers who lost their lives from workplace hazards. The Labor Agency’s mission is to help ensure a safe workplace. Remember to speak up if you see something dangerous at work. Together we can make workplaces safer for everyone.

California has faced huge challenges in the past 6 years. Through it all, Gov. Newsom has delivered balanced budgets that support workers. We’ve expanded opportunity with new apprenticeships and investments in industries that support middle class families. @CAgovernor

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

Pleased that @CAgovernor chose CSUS Stanislaus as the place to highlight the North San Joaquin Valley’s Jobs First regional economic plan. As Stan State President Britt Rios-Ellis so eloquently put it: “We live and breathe social mobility.”

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

JUST NOW: @CAGovernor Newsom receives the North San Joaquin Valley's Jobs First regional economic plan — created by the community, for the community — from local leaders in Turlock.

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

Starting January 1, California raised paid family leave and disability benefit rates so millions of people can more easily afford to take time off to bond with a baby or care for a loved one. Thank you @CAgovernor for supporting California workers.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Parents shouldn't have to choose between caring for their newborn or rushing back to work to make rent.

Beginning this year, California's Paid Family Leave program is expanding.

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

I was raised in Tehama and always enjoy coming back to the North State. Today, I joined Gov. Gavin Newsom & other educational and state leaders from the North State at Shasta College in Redding to announce the framework of our Master Plan for Career Education. @CAgovernor

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

Today after a stop with @CAgovernor on his Jobs First Tour, I had the pleasure of stopping by the one-stop employment center in Colusa County that I ran for seven years in partnership with Yuba College. Such collaboration is a more seamless way to serve trainees and employers.

[CA Labor & Workforce Development Agency @CALaborAgency]

California’s farm economy is changing due to climate change. Our Farmworkers Advancement Program is helping this labor force adapt by building new skills, including vegetation management techniques that will make the land more fire-resilient.

As @CAgovernor said, the Jobs First plans developed here in Kern County and by 12 other regions around the state will be braided together into the most place-based, community-driven economic strategy in state history.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

California's economy only thrives when all our regions thrive.

We're working directly with communities across the state to create more jobs and more opportunities for working people — creating a stronger economy for generations to come.

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

The @CALaborAgency has been a proud partner with @CAgovernor and @CAGoBiz in empowering regions around the state to write their own economic futures.

Early next year, California is releasing the California Jobs First Economic Blueprint, a first-of-its-kind, bottom-up strategy to create good-paying jobs.

From agriculture to clean energy & everything in between, we're fostering sustainable growth & expansion across the state.

This morning @deemyers and I had an engaging discussion with Don Howard of the @IrvineFdn on how we are working to create jobs from the ground up, letting regions decide what holds the most promise for them in our #JobsFirst initiative. Thank you to @MoveCAFWD for hosting us.

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

Thank you to @jfftweets @IrvineFdn and @ucmerced for supporting this effort.

[California Labor Secretary Stewart Knox @CALaborSec]

I was raised on a California ranch, and helping farmworkers obtain more education and job skills has been a focus for my career. @CALaborAgency has committed $20 million to our Farmworkers Advancement program, and it was my pleasure today to address a convening for our grantees.
