We will use a gradual, science-based and data-driven framework to guide our re-opening timing while planning our economic recovery. I am honored that dozens of leaders in business, labor, health and philanthropy are stepping up to meet this moment by committing their time and talent to lift up all Californians. Through their leadership, and the leadership of California\u2019s 40 million residents, I have no doubt we will emerge stronger from this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Task Force will work to develop actions government and businesses can take to help Californians recover as fast as safely possible from the COVID-19 induced recession and to shape a fair, green, and prosperous future. They will meet twice a month throughout 2020 to develop options that would work for all Californians, with a particular focus on those hardest hit by the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Newsom has been a steady hand and shining example of how to lead during a crisis, and I am thrilled to help in this critical way,\u201d said Tom Steyer. \u201cIn the coming weeks and months, we will bring together the public and private sectors, outside experts, organized labor, environmental groups, and activists to develop recommendations for a recovery plan that works for all Californians, with an emphasis on those communities hardest hit by the pandemic. Our goal is to present Governor Newsom with tangible actions that leverage the task force\u2019s expertise to rebuild California, emphasize smart, green technologies and provide a model for just economic development for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Task Force will craft ideas for short, medium, and long-term solutions that reflect communities across the state, and emphasize a fair and equitable recovery. There will be significant emphasis of the state\u2019s strengths, including diversity and innovation. The Task Force will not only focus on our immediate recovery, but on actions to support a cleaner, more equitable and prosperous future for all Californians. It will build on the important work of other groups including the Governor\u2019s Council of Economic Advisors, the Higher Education Council and the Commission on the Future of Work. Both co-chairs of the Future of Work Commission, President of SEIU Mary Kay Henry and Senior Partner of McKinsey &#038; Company James Manyika, will serve on the new Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor formed the Business and Jobs Recovery Task Force just days after he announced a multi-state Task Force with Oregon and Washington to coordinate the reopening of our regional economy. Governor Newsom outlined a road map to recovery with six indicators that should be met before California\u2019s stay-at-home orders are modified.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on California\u2019s economy. The state has seen more than 2.8 million unemployment claims since March 12, 2020 \u2013 not including undocumented residents or independent contractors. The impact has been particularly devastating for California\u2019s small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>Read the full list of Task Force members below<\/p>\n<p>Governor&#8217;s Task Force on Business and Jobs Recovery<br \/>\nCo-Chairs<br \/>\nAnn O\u2019Leary: Chief of Staff, Office of the Governor<br \/>\nTom Steyer: Chief Advisor to the Governor on Business &#038; Jobs Recovery<\/p>\n<p>Honorary Task Force Members<br \/>\nThe Honorable Edmund G.
