From the San Francisco Business Times:
The gap in income between rich and poor people and blacks and whites has grown in California over the last 20 years, according to a report from nonprofit Next 10 in San Francisco… The Next 10 report, by David Neumark and Jennifer Muz of the University of California, Irvine, cited two main worries for California — one the gaps in income described above, and the other the Golden State's sluggish job growth since the Great Recession. "The slower job growth is not solely a function of the Great Recession hitting California harder. Even in the early- to mid-2000s, when California's economic growth was relatively strong, job growth did not exhibit the same strength," the report says.
