Fresno, CA…Alongside community leaders, local officials and business owners from the Central San Joaquin region, Governor Gavin Newsom yesterday unveiled the framework for the forthcoming California Jobs First Economic Blueprint – a first-of-its kind, bottom-up strategy for creating good-paying jobs and regional economic development.
Made up of ten key industry sectors, this framework will help streamline the state’s economic, business, and workforce development programs to create more jobs, faster, as part of the California Jobs First initiative. The state’s thirteen economic regions engaged more than 10,000 local residents and experts who collectively identified these sectors as key to driving local economies into the future.
“Each region of California has its own strengths — we’re helping build out each local economy with a bottom-up approach that’ll connect more good-paying jobs with California families. From agriculture to clean energy to manufacturing and everything in between, these blueprints will foster growth and expansion throughout every community of California.”
California’s economy has industries at all stages. They are categorized as follows within the Economic Blueprint:
- Strengthen: Tradable sectors where California has an established competitive position and/or significant employment, but where there is leveling growth or wages
- Accelerate: Tradable sectors with moderate to high projected growth that are ready for expansion, where additional investments (e.g., capital, infrastructure) could “bend the curve” to generate growth
- Bet: Emerging tradable sectors with significant investment or high strategic importance to the innovation ecosystem
- Anchor: Foundational local sectors that are critical for attracting and supporting industry and community activities
The California Jobs First Economic Blueprint will highlight the ways in which workforce development can help Californians, particularly the most uninvested in communities, in meeting the specific skillset needs of the State’s and our regions’ priority industry sectors.
“Today is another critically important milestone in aligning strategic investments that further economic growth and job creation in every region of California,” said Dee Dee Myers, Senior Advisor to Governor Newsom and Director of the Governor’s Office of Business & Economic Development. “This new economic framework will set the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth, ensuring that the industries of today and tomorrow provide the good-paying jobs Californians deserve.”
The complete Economic Blueprint will be released early next year, along with $120 million over three years in competitive funding to support “ready-to-go” job-creating projects aligned to state priority sectors, ensuring that every region across California continues to play a critical role in the sustainable growth of the world’s fifth largest economy.
“Governor Newsom has driven an unprecedented $4 billion of state investment in training people for good jobs, and California continues to lead the nation in education, apprenticeship and earn-and-learn programs,” said Stewart Knox, Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. “Having a well-prepared workforce is a crucial part of ensuring that our state has a healthy economy for decades to come.”
How we got here
- In 2021, Governor Newsom launched a statewide economic development planning process called the Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF), which was later renamed the Regional Investment Initiative under the banner of California Jobs First in 2023. The objective was to create high-quality, accessible jobs and sustainable economic growth across the state’s 13 regions.
- Each region created a planning body – or collaborative – with representation from a wide variety of community partners including labor, business, local government, education, environmental justice, community organizations and more. The collaboratives then wrote their own data-driven, community-led economic plans, including identifying priority sectors.
- To support this process, California has invested $287 million since 2022, including $5 million per region for planning, $39 million for pilot projects across the state and $14 million per region to develop viable projects that advance their strategic sectors.
- In March, Governor Newsom announced the creation of the California Jobs First Council, made up of nine Cabinet-level agencies, focused on streamlining the state’s economic and workforce development programs to create more jobs, faster.
What local leaders are saying
Melissa James, President & CEO, REACH (Central Coast region): “People have been at the heart of the California Jobs First process, where broad, inclusive outreach has allowed local residents across the state’s 13 regions to design strategies and projects that uplift their economies. This historic, people-first investment infuses real resources into the economy to uplift both people and communities, ensuring growth and opportunity are shared across the state.”
Manpreet Kaur, Project Director, Kern County Coalition (Kern County region): “A rich history of labor movements was born right out of Kern County, with incredible leaders like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and yet, we haven’t always had the opportunity to come together as one community and develop the roadmap for the future of our workers and our community. California Jobs First set the table for all of us, as one Kern County, to sit together and do the hard work, ensuring all people in our region can access quality jobs into the future.”
Karen Warner, CEO, Beam Circular (North San Joaquin region): “California is home to the industries and innovators that are shaping the materials, food, energy, and products that we use every day. California Jobs First will help us make big bets on the industries of the future that will deliver quality jobs, a healthy environment, and new pathways to prosperity in local communities across every region of the state.”

Mexican drug cartel kingpin arrested in California living under a fake name
Government agents arrested a top Mexican drug cartel kingpin who was hiding out in California. Christian Fernando Gutierrez-Ochoa was living the high life in Riverside, CA in a luxury apartment. He had allegedly faked his own death and was living under a false name, the US Department of Justice announced Thursday, per the Associated Press.
Gutierrez-Ochoa was member of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación and the son-in-law of the cartel’s current boss, El Mencho. The fugitive was on the run from Mexican police when he illegally crossed the border, created a false identity and moved into a high-priced apartment building on his ill-gotten gains.
Federal authorities have charged him with international drug trafficking and money laundering.
“The Jalisco Cartel — one of the world’s most violent and prolific drug trafficking organizations — is weaker today because of the tenacious efforts of law enforcement to track down and arrest a cartel leader who allegedly faked his own death and assumed a false identity to evade justice and live a life of luxury in California,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement Thursday.
Before Gutierrez-Ochoa disappeared from sight, he was a major drug trafficker who was personally responsible for the shipping and dispensing 40,000 kg of methamphetamine and 2,000 kg of cocaine from Mexico to the United States. He was also allegedly the person responsible for the kidnapping of two Mexican Navy officers whom he attempted to use to leverage the release of his mother-in-law who had been arrested by Mexican police.
El Mencho is suspected of assisting Gutierrez-Ochoa in allegedly faking his death so that he could evade arrest. The cartel boss claimed that he had killed his son-in-law because he had lied to him. The plan gave Gutierrez the time and space he needed to flee to California, where his wife was located.
The Justice Department charged El Mencho in 2022 over his part in bringing massive quantities of fentanyl into the US. He remains at large and the State Department has a standing offer of a $10 million reward for his arrest and/or conviction.
The drug war at the southern border is more dangerous than ever. Sinaloa drug cartel gangsters have been authorized by their bosses to shoot and kill US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. There was always an unspoken agreement between the cartels and the border patrol that gangs wouldn’t use lethal force against US agents because they feared a massive retaliatory response from US security and police. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to seize the assets of cartels and use the money for restitution for US citizens hurt by criminal illegal immigrants.
Thanks to Gov Newsom, when the Mexican Cartel need to go in to hiding, California politicians will help them hide from ICE and the DOJ.
