"Our state’s budgetary troubles will not end until our state’s economy recovers. In order for the economy to recover, state government needs to focus on solutions that will put California Jobs First. One solution would be for lawmakers to get out of the way of employers and allow them to grow their businesses and create jobs. Regulatory reform will stimulate job growth and keep employers and jobs from fleeing the state. Government needs to be a stimulus for jobs and not an impediment."
- Assemblyman Roger Niello

Throughout the Sacramento region, working families are feeling the impact of an economy in recession, with rising unemployment rates and lack of available job opportunities.

With 2.2 million Californians out of work today and a 12 percent state unemployment rate, lawmakers can no longer sit idly by and watch employers be regulated to death. That's why my Assembly Republican colleagues and I are committed to putting California Jobs First in 2010.

We will be fighting hard this year to focus the Legislature's attention on where it matters most - job creation and retention. We have created a new California Jobs First website: www.CAJobsFirst.com that is full of important jobs information, including:

* Resources for job seekers;
* Videos on California's jobs problems;
* State jobs news and employment statistics;
* Examples of government policies that kill jobs;
* Solutions to help create jobs and stimulate economic growth;

Let Your Voice Be Heard! Take a Jobs Survey!

One of the most important aspects of the www.CAJobsFirst.com website is a jobs survey that allows respondents to weigh in on their jobs situation, personal experiences, and recommendations to bring jobs back. Finding solutions to these problems shouldn't be left to government bureaucrats. It's vital that we hear from the people like you, whose jobs and lives are most directly impacted by government policies. Visit www.CAJobsFirst.com to take a short online survey and share your thoughts about what the Legislature should do to get California moving again.
