Made In California - We Rise Together - a podcast by GO-Biz

The California dream is not well. We may be the fifth-largest economy in the world. We may be leaders in almost every area you can imagine, from technology to agriculture to arts. We may be the place where new ideas most often turn into new industries, thanks to venture capital funding, innovative startups, world-class universities, state-of-the art labs and our diverse talent pool. We may be all those things. But we are also the state where too many Californians are working hard and still falling behind.

We’re both the richest and poorest state in the nation with 8 million of our fellow Californians living below the poverty line. 1 in 5 kids lives in poverty in this state. We’ve got a cost crisis when it comes to housing, healthcare and education. Economic growth is mostly happening in our coastal communities and not enough inland. And, left unmanaged, the changes that technology is bringing to the nature of work is set to only exacerbate those challenges. So we’ve got some work to do to make sure our economy is working for everyone and so we have an economy that is built to last, for this generation and the next. And that’s what we’re going to be talking about on Made in California.
