Job Killers vs Job Creators:
Stay Updated with Help Cal Chamber
|
has released its list of job creator bills,
calling attention to 13 bills that will
improve the state's job climate and
stimulate the economy. Since 2008,
the CalChamber has identified bills
that will encourage employers to invest
resources back into the economy and
local communities rather than spend
them on unnecessary
government-imposed costs.
The California Chamber of Commerce
released a preliminary list of job killer
bills on March 29th to call attention to
the negative impact that 18 proposed measures would have on California's job climate and economic recovery if they were to become law. Another job killer has since been identified, bringing the total to 19.
