I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

But some researchers worry the clawback campaign could force people with lower incomes to pay back thousands of dollars they no longer have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Economic Development Department began issuing notifications of the proof-of-work requirement last month to one-third of California’s 2.9 million Pandemic Unemployment Assistance recipients. The federal program, which ran from March 2020 and ended in September, was aimed at helping people who don’t usually qualify for unemployment benefits because they are freelancers or small-business owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is asking them to prove, retroactively, that they were working, or planning to work, prior to filing their unemployment claim. If they can’t provide documentation, they would be ineligible and asked to give the benefits back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11888843\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/EDD-UNEMPLOYMENT-1020x680.jpg\"]A full repayment could be over $32,000 if a recipient received full benefits throughout the program. In addition, if a claimant offered false information, the state could impose a 30% penalty. Some experts are now suggesting giving recipients a pass even if they can’t prove their eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should be saying, ‘Look, if you got unemployment insurance benefits during that time, you’re fine,’” said Chris Hoene, executive director of the left-leaning California Budget and Policy Center based in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the concern is fraudulent claims,” he added, “then do the work to fix the administration of the system” instead of requiring recipients to prove they qualified for the benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not clear where lawmakers stand. Democratic Assemblymember Tom Daly of Anaheim, chair of the Assembly Insurance Committee, which has oversight of the EDD, did not return a request for comment. Assemblymember Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley, an independent serving as vice chair of the committee, also didn’t respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chair and vice chair of the Senate Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Committee — Democrat Dave Cortese of San José and Republican Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh of Yucaipa — also did not respond to requests for comment.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nThe EDD noted that the repayment policy is a federal requirement, passed by Congress in the Continued Assistance for Unemployment Workers Act in 2020. EDD acknowledges it can waive repayment if the overpayment was not the recipient’s fault or not fraudulent and if repayment would cause extraordinary hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policy is an attempt to claw back \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-5ec16ebe5b5982a9531a7a3d5a45e93c\">an estimated $20 billion lost to fraudulent claims in California\u003c/a>. But McGregor Scott, a former U.S. attorney who has been leading a state investigation into unemployment fraud, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article256487486.html\">doesn’t believe EDD’s repayment policy will recover much\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Chris Hoene, California Budget and Policy Center\"]‘If the concern is fraudulent claims, then do the work to fix the administration of the system.’[/pullquote]The state’s immense loss came after EDD, inundated with unemployment claims early in the pandemic, began expediting the process by waiving a proof-of-work requirement. Investigators have said the rollback allowed organized crime and incarcerated people to siphon money from the state through fraudulent claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recipients who receive EDD notices must use \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/about_edd/coronavirus-2019/pandemic-unemployment-assistance.htm#SelfEmployment\">pay stubs, tax returns, business licenses or job offer letters\u003c/a> to prove they were employed or planned to be employed in the lead-up to filing their claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who filed on or after Jan. 31 have only 21 days to send documentation. Those who filed before that date, and received a payment after Dec. 27, 2020, have 90 days to comply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We probably need to implement this with compassion,” said Jesse Rothstein, a professor of public policy and economics at UC Berkeley. “We won’t be able to collect in every case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='economy']Even before the pandemic, \u003ca href=\"https://www.unitedwaysca.org/realcost\">nearly 1 in 3 Californian households struggled to pay for basic necessities\u003c/a>, according to the United Ways of California.

The kind of job where a person is employed by one company and gets things like health insurance, paid sick days, and at least minimum wage. Today, all kinds of businesses from Uber to janitorial companies argue they’ve come up with something better: “gig work,” in which workers are independent contractors, not employees. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But some workers in California are pushing back against the “gig economy. ” After Jerry Vasquez started working as a janitor, with a business that promised he’d be his own boss, he began to question just how independent he really was.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week we’re talking with Krissy Clark, host of Marketplace’s documentary podcast “The Uncertain Hour.” She features Jerry’s story in her special series, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.marketplace.org/shows/the-uncertain-hour/\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">This Thing We Used to Call Employment\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.” She says what happened to him could have a huge impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and our whole economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But other data suggest the news isn’t all bad: There are lots of job openings, and workers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/mixed-signals-in-californias-labor-market-recovery/\">quitting their jobs in droves\u003c/a>, which is often a sign that people are optimistic they can find a better job.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why is California's jobless rate bouncing back more slowly?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even pre-pandemic, California’s overall unemployment rate was usually slightly above the national rate. But the fact that so many Californians work in the leisure and hospitality industries — which saw massive layoffs at the beginning of the pandemic — contributes to the state’s lagging employment recovery now. Leila Bengali, an economist at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, pointed out that California’s leisure and hospitality sectors employed almost 18% fewer people in September 2021 than pre-pandemic, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nationwide, the industry was just 9% smaller in September than it was pre-pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One explanation for the gap between the rate at which California’s leisure and hospitality industry has recovered jobs and the rate at which the industry has recovered jobs nationally, Bengali said, is that international tourism, a large part of the state’s economy, was particularly hard hit during the pandemic. Visitors buy lunches at caf\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">é\u003c/span>s and stay in hotels; when travel dried up, those businesses bore the brunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898732\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11898732 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03.jpeg\" alt='A phone on a shelf with a note that says \"YOU ARE NOT YOU CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES!!' width=\"1568\" height=\"1044\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03.jpeg 1568w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-1020x679.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A note with words of encouragement at Nance Parry’s home in Duarte on Dec. 6, 2021.

Florida, another high-tourism state, stands apart among high-tourism states with a 4.6% unemployment rate overall. The leisure and hospitality sectors in California, Nevada, New York and Florida all have added jobs back more slowly than the sectors have nationally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another potential explanation comes from research by Harvard economics professor Raj Chetty and several other economists, who found that lower-wage workers who worked at small businesses in high-rent ZIP codes — of which California has many — \u003ca href=\"https://opportunityinsights.org/paper/tracker/\">lost their jobs at higher rates\u003c/a> early in the pandemic than lower-wage workers who worked in small businesses in lower-rent areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you lived in East LA, but you got on your bike and a bus to get over to Beverly Hills to work in a restaurant, or to clean a house or to take care of kids, a lot of that demand disappeared,” said Pastor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/2f6d013b-cc7b-42e2-b6ca-a29e6f319710?src=embed\" title=\"Updated: CA v natl unemployment\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>But aren't employers struggling to fill jobs?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes. Walk down any commercial strip in a California city and there’s a decent chance you’ll see a \"Now Hiring\" sign in a restaurant or shop window. Employers have been offering \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2021/08/labor-shortage-hiring-incentives-yoga-therapy-401k/\">cash bonuses and beefed-up benefits\u003c/a> to fill empty positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s unemployment situation “certainly isn’t a question of a lack of job opportunity. That’s not what’s going on,” said Chris Thornberg, founding partner of Beacon Economics, an economic research and consulting firm. “There are an insane number of job opportunities in our state and in the nation overall.” People may just be taking their time to find a good job, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/e15ccbc8-b527-4e43-a612-840d5c238a94?src=embed\" title=\"2 unemployed to openings\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also some indications that lower-income families aren’t experiencing economic stress, said Thornberg. For example, the share of Californian consumers with new bankruptcies is \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorkfed.org/microeconomics/hhdc/background.html\">lower than it was pre-pandemic\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of the job openings also require in-person, physical work with unpredictable hours — like serving in a restaurant, or packing goods in a warehouse. Some people aren’t willing or able to do that work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parry is worried about working in person while the pandemic is ongoing. “I keep seeing signs in restaurants and stuff like that. It really makes me feel bad because I need work,” she said. She worked at Cost Plus over the holidays once in the past, and it made her legs hurt. “I am 71 years old,” she said. “I mean, the last thing I want is a job where I stand all day because it kills the legs and the back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898733\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11898733\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1568\" height=\"1068\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08.jpeg 1568w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08-800x545.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08-1020x695.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08-160x109.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-08-1536x1046.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nance Parry spends hours each day in front of her computer searching and applying for jobs.

During the pandemic, unemployment in the state crested at 16%, but just a year and a half later, that number had fallen by more than half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If workers are holding out for jobs that better match their needs and goals, that can prompt employers to increase wages for the lowest-wage workers, for example, or offer them more stable schedules — concessions that are good for the economy, said Irena Asmundson, managing director of the California Policy Research Initiative at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and former chief economist for the California Department of Finance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our economy really does work better when we have more of a balance of power between employers and employees,” Asmundson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 id=\"h-when-will-the-unemployment-rate-come-down\">\u003cstrong>When will the unemployment rate come down?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebudget.ca.gov/2021-22/pdf/Revised/BudgetSummary/EconomicOutlook.pdf\">May 2021 report\u003c/a> from the Department of Finance projected that California’s unemployment rate would return to pre-pandemic levels in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/anderson-forecast-december-pandemic-influence\">report\u003c/a> from UCLA Anderson Forecast predicts that California’s unemployment rate will fall to an average of 5.6% in 2022, and will drop further to an average of 4.4% in 2023. Authors Jerry Nickelsburg and Leila Bengali also expect job growth to slow in industries with a lot of personal contact, and in sectors that cater to tourists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether California’s pre-pandemic jobless rate of about 4% was sustainable, said Asmundson. There’s a sweet spot, she said, and while economists disagree on exactly what that sweet spot is, she puts it at 5% for California.

But other data suggest the news isn’t all bad: There are lots of job openings, and workers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/mixed-signals-in-californias-labor-market-recovery/\">quitting their jobs in droves\u003c/a>, which is often a sign that people are optimistic they can find a better job.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why is California's jobless rate bouncing back more slowly?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Even pre-pandemic, California’s overall unemployment rate was usually slightly above the national rate. But the fact that so many Californians work in the leisure and hospitality industries — which saw massive layoffs at the beginning of the pandemic — contributes to the state’s lagging employment recovery now. Leila Bengali, an economist at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, pointed out that California’s leisure and hospitality sectors employed almost 18% fewer people in September 2021 than pre-pandemic, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nationwide, the industry was just 9% smaller in September than it was pre-pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One explanation for the gap between the rate at which California’s leisure and hospitality industry has recovered jobs and the rate at which the industry has recovered jobs nationally, Bengali said, is that international tourism, a large part of the state’s economy, was particularly hard hit during the pandemic. Visitors buy lunches at caf\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">é\u003c/span>s and stay in hotels; when travel dried up, those businesses bore the brunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898732\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1568px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11898732 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03.jpeg\" alt='A phone on a shelf with a note that says \"YOU ARE NOT YOU CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU ARE YOUR POSSIBILITIES!!' width=\"1568\" height=\"1044\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03.jpeg 1568w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-1020x679.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/120621-Unemployment-RN-CM-03-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1568px) 100vw, 1568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A note with words of encouragement at Nance Parry’s home in Duarte on Dec. 6, 2021.

That’s not what’s going on,” said Chris Thornberg, founding partner of Beacon Economics, an economic research and consulting firm. “There are an insane number of job opportunities in our state and in the nation overall.” People may just be taking their time to find a good job, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/e15ccbc8-b527-4e43-a612-840d5c238a94?src=embed\" title=\"2 unemployed to openings\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also some indications that lower-income families aren’t experiencing economic stress, said Thornberg.

Warehouses struggled to hire enough workers to keep up with demand and they started getting backed up, leaving containers full of new goods at the ports, where they started to create traffic jams, said Chris Tang, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management who studies supply chain issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Gov.

Empty of ships. And the operator tells me that this is the first time in the history where they’re operating Oakland that they have not one vessel call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED spoke with Wan, who also serves as president of the California Association of Port Authorities, this week to better understand the current situation in Oakland and how he proposes to overhaul California’s port infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED’s Brian Watt: Has the situation at the Port of Oakland changed since you met with legislators?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Danny Wan\u003c/strong>: We have three terminals at the Port of Oakland and we’re about 75% capacity. We’re talking to the shipping lines about returning some [shipping] to Oakland, and [we’re] not talking about shipping the stuff that usually goes down to LA and Long Beach in normal times, to come to Oakland. Some of the things that normally do come to Oakland, all of a sudden in this kind of disruptive environment, have now started to go down to Long Beach now instead of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There are two international trade routes that are starting up this month docking at Oakland. Are they in response to the situation that has developed in Los Angeles and Long Beach?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally what happens is that the shipping lines do a route from Asia to Los Angeles-Long Beach. They drop the cargo down there that’s destined for the southern California routes. And then they come up to Oakland. and they pick up exports and they also drop off what’s destined for northern California. What’s happening now is that they’re skipping Oakland because they want to get their containers back. They’re simply dropping all the cargo off in Los Angeles-Long Beach and expecting northern California export-importers to go down to Los Angeles into that congestion and do their business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These two new trade routes are direct shipping lines coming to Oakland — not to Los Angeles-Long Beach. They’re first coming to Oakland to drop off the imports and pick up the exports and go back to Asia directly so that we have a direct route … that is perfect for us, that is efficient, that is going to serve the people up here and we hope to have more of those kind of routes starting up.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is your suggestion for what could be done to help push through some of the bottleneck issues we see at the ports?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot of discussion about whether we can relieve the congestion for Christmas. I unfortunately got a report that this congestion problem is not going to be solved by Christmas. What we need to do is make sure that this congestion problem does not last very much into the new year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label ='Related Coverage' tag='economy']One of the solutions I’m suggesting is to use our maximum capacity, including the Port of Oakland. We have another 25% capacity. We could help relieve that congestion down south. I think that there needs to be some kind of discussion about coordinating the various parties in the supply chain in terms of moving, making space available and getting more information to our shippers … to have some clarity as to when the schedule is, when they can get spots, when they can get their containers so that people can coordinate the system better to make it flow more smoothly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the long term, there’s an issue. California ports are especially underinvested. We need a coordinated effort from the state and the federal government to make more investment into the supply chain in California, both in terms of dock space, dock improvements, but also workforce training as well as other issues, like inland warehouse development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you feel that the recently approved federal infrastructure package, which includes $17 billion for infrastructure at ports, is a start?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Absolutely. I appreciate the Biden administration recognizing that this is an important investment in the package. But I think one of the issues that we need to bring out … is that California ports, compared to, for example, the Gulf ports of the East and the South are having an investment disadvantage of about 11 to 1. In other words, for every dollar they invest in the West Coast, in California ports, 11 dollars are invested in other ports on other coasts. So California is way behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need to have a California-coordinated freight policy that not only makes sense of the capacity issue — where we ship the goods, but also in terms of investing, having a plan to invest so that we can compete for that federal investment that’s coming in with the infrastructure package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from CalMatters’s Gal Gedye.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

I appreciate the Biden administration recognizing that this is an important investment in the package. But I think one of the issues that we need to bring out … is that California ports, compared to, for example, the Gulf ports of the East and the South are having an investment disadvantage of about 11 to 1. In other words, for every dollar they invest in the West Coast, in California ports, 11 dollars are invested in other ports on other coasts. So California is way behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We need to have a California-coordinated freight policy that not only makes sense of the capacity issue — where we ship the goods, but also in terms of investing, having a plan to invest so that we can compete for that federal investment that’s coming in with the infrastructure package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes reporting from CalMatters’s Gal Gedye.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
