Governor Newsom on California's Bold, Balanced Budget

Published | Video Starts at 09:03

We built a service corps larger now than the Peace Corps. And we've expanded apprenticeship programs for hundreds of thousands. Over 600,000 people now training for great paying jobs. We've raised the minimum wage. No state comes close to $20 an hour fast food workers, $25 an hour for health care workers. We expanded paid sick leave so every Californian has at least five days. We expanded paid family leave and made wage replacement progressive so that a working mother taking time to care for a newborn or a sick parent doesn't lose her paycheck. (09:03–09:12)
