His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

While nearly all companies in the region are impacted by efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic, it’s small operations that have been hit the hardest, say business leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday morning, Brennan, also a San Mateo County Harbor Commissioner who pushes for pay equity in surfing and other sports, tried to apply for unemployment insurance benefits for the first time in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are definitely worried,” said Brennan, whose wife Aimee works at a small medical device company that provides both with health coverage. “That’s a huge concern right now.

The state received 135,000 claims in a single day last week, said Gov. Gavin Newsom. That more than doubles the 58,200 jobless claims California processed during the whole second week of March, according to the California Employment Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't know of a single business that is not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or the shelter-in-place orders,” said Matthew Mahood, president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Organization, a chamber of commerce with 1,200 business members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small businesses that don’t have the ability to work remotely depend on foot traffic, and many lack savings, putting them at particular risk of closing for good, said Mahood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They've already laid people off. They've already cut hours. Now we're getting to the point where small businesses that don't have more than 20 or 30 days of working capital are going to go out of business,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"More Coronavirus Coverage\"]Officials in charge of helping workers and business owners in San Jose and San Francisco said they are unable to provide an estimate of the number of companies that have been forced to close or cut hours due to shelter-in-place orders.

The departures come days after a House committee report found the bank has been too slow to reform itself in the wake of a series of scandals — including widespread fraud in the consumer banking business tied to overly aggressive sales goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duke, who is known to many as Betsy, was elected chair of the bank's board effective January 2018. She had previously served as vice chair between October 2016 and December 2017.

Later, they moved to a shelter, then into the studio apartment almost exactly one year ago. The Californian isn’t naming her exact location due to concerns about her personal safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motel, which she paid $900 a month to rent, was supposed to be a step up from the shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, they’re all squeezed into one bedroom, but they were glad for the private bathroom and kitchenette down the hall, where they could make meals together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, things got worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said they soon realized the motel was infested with mice, rats and cockroaches, which crawled out of the fist-sized hole behind the refrigerator. Harris even broke her daughter’s trundle bed one night as she jumped on it, startled by “four or five mice” running around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water they shower in drips cold from the shower head, and only warms up if the bathroom tap is on at the same time. Mold grows along the shower walls and floors, no matter how many times Harris scrubs it with bleach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four of them have asthma, and are having more frequent, fiercer attacks, likely due to the mold and mouse feces they found everywhere, doctors told them. According to multiple studies, exposure to cockroaches and mice increases one’s risk of asthma attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like a bad mom because I can’t give them everything they deserve,” Harris said, with thick tears rolling past the star tattooed on her cheek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen-year-old Heaven, sitting next to her mother on the bottom bunk, touched her arm gently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I tell her she’s not,” said Heaven. “She does everything. She works two jobs, and she’s just one person. To me, she’s Superwoman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Overcrowding Increases Health Risk\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Between 2006 and 2018, the median household income in California grew 6.4%, but the average real income for the lowest 20% of households dropped by 5.3%. During that same time period, the cost of housing increased by more than 8% from 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this environment, it is not surprising that families would double or triple up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got people in overcrowded conditions, typically, it’s going to be a result of economic inequality,” said Dr. Maximiliano Cuevas, who heads up Clínica de Salud del Valle de Salinas, a community-founded health clinic that works primarily with farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2019 analysis of Census Bureau data by the California Budget and Policy Center found statewide economic inequality, resulting in millions being unable to afford basic bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start superimposing economic inequality – that is you don’t have sufficient economic resources to maintain yourself while you’re here – it will impact you,” Cuevas said. “We break down. Our body begins to get sick. If you don’t have access to healthcare, you get sicker until that disease process runs its course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People living in overcrowded homes may have to deal with vermin and pests, as it can prove more challenging to keep the home clean when too many people live there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communicable diseases also love overcrowding. Viruses, fungal infections and head lice thrive in these environments, where germs travel in the air from coughs and linger on commonly touched items.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Diseases that Thrive\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The county health department doesn’t track individual cases of norovirus or influenza, other than outbreaks or deaths. However, during the 2018-2019 flu season in California, 588 people died from the flu, according to the state health department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors like Cuevas said overcrowded housing, which has increased as the housing crisis deepened, also raises vulnerable peoples’ risk of contracting these illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viruses such as norovirus or influenza can be passed through contact with contaminated surfaces such as door handles, hands or food, but other diseases such as whooping cough or tuberculosis require people to breathe in the bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had instances (of tuberculosis) in the southern part of the county because of overcrowding: that is more than two people living in a room or more than one family living in a house,” said Cuevas. “We’re seeing a lot of that right now. For people to afford the rent of a house, you’ve got five, even 10 to 12 families living in a house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got multiple families living in one home, it’s going to be very difficult to isolate someone with tuberculosis, with norovirus, with influenza,” said Dr. Edward Moreno, the director of the Monterey County Public Health Department. “Especially if you have one bathroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803977\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803977\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-1020x714.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pests and viruses thrive in overcrowded environments like this trailer park in Salinas. \u003ccite>(David Rodriguez/The Salinas Californian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got a one-bedroom home or a studio, you can’t isolate someone. That’s how overcrowding contributes to making people sick, because you can’t isolate the person,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on 2011-2015 data from the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, the state Department of Public Health found that in California, 8.2% of households are considered overcrowded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, the rate of overcrowded households is 55% higher than the state average: It stands at 12.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino households in California experience the highest rate of overcrowding, at 20.1%, followed by Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders. In contrast, white households are the least likely to be overcrowded, at 1.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuberculosis is more commonly found among those who live doubled and tripled up, said Cuevas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In countries with fewer resources, a bacterial disease like tuberculosis is often considered a death sentence, said Moreno. Mexico, South America, Southeast Asia and Central Europe all grapple with this fear, said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you want to stay in the family, you want to keep your job, you don’t talk about your tuberculosis, even though you’re probably infecting other people,” said Moreno. “That’s something we deal with as we’re doing our investigations, so we don’t always get all their other family members or people at work they’ve exposed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors with the Monterey County Department of Public Health noted that tuberculosis infections increased in the second half of the decade but dropped from 29 cases in 2018 to just 12 cases in 2019, said Kristy Michie, the assistant director of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in a county with more than 440,000 people,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what factors led or contributed to the decline in tuberculosis in the county, officials from the public health department are stymied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The health department does not have any data or evidence to support theories about why the incidence declined last year,” said Michie. As such, she said, officials are closely monitoring cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year was unusual for us, so we do expect to see at least this number or more this year,” said Michie. “If that’s influenced by overcrowding, we can’t say for sure; there’s a lot of things at play there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bacterial disease, pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can pass more easily among the vulnerable in overcrowded conditions. More individuals became ill with whooping cough in 2019 than in previous years, but Michie said that was expected due to its cyclical pattern that peaks every three to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like a radio wave across time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Local, Low-cost or No-cost Healthcare\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In certain parts of Monterey County, overcrowding and unhealthy living conditions are common, thanks to a lack of affordable housing. That can leave the area’s tens of thousands of farmworkers squeezed into garages and living rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 fact sheet by researchers at San Diego State University and the Center for Immigrant Integration at the University of Southern California, an estimated 18%, or just under 9,000, of the 49,000 people who live in East Salinas are undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers estimate only about 23% of undocumented immigrants have health insurance, compared with 63% of the U.S.-born population, excluding documented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The group that’s going to face difficulty (getting treatment) are the uninsured,” said Moreno. Specifically, he said, those who didn’t sign up for Covered California, or don’t have Medi-Cal or Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going without health coverage can leave people choosing between a bill and a doctor’s visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children under 18 years of age and adults under 25 are guaranteed medical benefits by the Golden State, regardless of citizenship. However, that could still leave millions of residents without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, between 2.35 million and 2.6 million undocumented immigrants called California home, research by the Public Policy Institute of California showed. Those numbers account for nearly a quarter of the nation’s undocumented population and 6% of the state’s total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"housing, poverty\" label=\"More Related Stories.\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Resources for Uninsured\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For those without insurance, there are options available for medical care. Hospitals may have sliding scale payments for treatment, and the state’s Department of Health Care Services offers lists of healthcare providers and insurers on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small federally qualified health centers or clinic systems across the state, such as the Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas clinics, offer healthcare to patients in English or Spanish at low or no cost. These community-based health care providers receive federal funds to provide primary care services in underserved areas and must meet certain requirements, such as providing care on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay.

Later, they moved to a shelter, then into the studio apartment almost exactly one year ago. The Californian isn’t naming her exact location due to concerns about her personal safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The motel, which she paid $900 a month to rent, was supposed to be a step up from the shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, they’re all squeezed into one bedroom, but they were glad for the private bathroom and kitchenette down the hall, where they could make meals together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, things got worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris said they soon realized the motel was infested with mice, rats and cockroaches, which crawled out of the fist-sized hole behind the refrigerator. Harris even broke her daughter’s trundle bed one night as she jumped on it, startled by “four or five mice” running around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water they shower in drips cold from the shower head, and only warms up if the bathroom tap is on at the same time. Mold grows along the shower walls and floors, no matter how many times Harris scrubs it with bleach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four of them have asthma, and are having more frequent, fiercer attacks, likely due to the mold and mouse feces they found everywhere, doctors told them. According to multiple studies, exposure to cockroaches and mice increases one’s risk of asthma attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like a bad mom because I can’t give them everything they deserve,” Harris said, with thick tears rolling past the star tattooed on her cheek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seventeen-year-old Heaven, sitting next to her mother on the bottom bunk, touched her arm gently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I tell her she’s not,” said Heaven. “She does everything. She works two jobs, and she’s just one person. To me, she’s Superwoman.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Overcrowding Increases Health Risk\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Between 2006 and 2018, the median household income in California grew 6.4%, but the average real income for the lowest 20% of households dropped by 5.3%. During that same time period, the cost of housing increased by more than 8% from 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this environment, it is not surprising that families would double or triple up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got people in overcrowded conditions, typically, it’s going to be a result of economic inequality,” said Dr. Maximiliano Cuevas, who heads up Clínica de Salud del Valle de Salinas, a community-founded health clinic that works primarily with farmworkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2019 analysis of Census Bureau data by the California Budget and Policy Center found statewide economic inequality, resulting in millions being unable to afford basic bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start superimposing economic inequality – that is you don’t have sufficient economic resources to maintain yourself while you’re here – it will impact you,” Cuevas said. “We break down. Our body begins to get sick. If you don’t have access to healthcare, you get sicker until that disease process runs its course.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People living in overcrowded homes may have to deal with vermin and pests, as it can prove more challenging to keep the home clean when too many people live there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communicable diseases also love overcrowding. Viruses, fungal infections and head lice thrive in these environments, where germs travel in the air from coughs and linger on commonly touched items.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Diseases that Thrive\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The county health department doesn’t track individual cases of norovirus or influenza, other than outbreaks or deaths. However, during the 2018-2019 flu season in California, 588 people died from the flu, according to the state health department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors like Cuevas said overcrowded housing, which has increased as the housing crisis deepened, also raises vulnerable peoples’ risk of contracting these illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viruses such as norovirus or influenza can be passed through contact with contaminated surfaces such as door handles, hands or food, but other diseases such as whooping cough or tuberculosis require people to breathe in the bacteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had instances (of tuberculosis) in the southern part of the county because of overcrowding: that is more than two people living in a room or more than one family living in a house,” said Cuevas. “We’re seeing a lot of that right now. For people to afford the rent of a house, you’ve got five, even 10 to 12 families living in a house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got multiple families living in one home, it’s going to be very difficult to isolate someone with tuberculosis, with norovirus, with influenza,” said Dr. Edward Moreno, the director of the Monterey County Public Health Department. “Especially if you have one bathroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11803977\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11803977\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-800x560.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut-1020x714.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/RS41650_HOUSING-HEALTH-photo-2-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pests and viruses thrive in overcrowded environments like this trailer park in Salinas. \u003ccite>(David Rodriguez/The Salinas Californian)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you’ve got a one-bedroom home or a studio, you can’t isolate someone. That’s how overcrowding contributes to making people sick, because you can’t isolate the person,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on 2011-2015 data from the Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project, the state Department of Public Health found that in California, 8.2% of households are considered overcrowded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Monterey County, the rate of overcrowded households is 55% higher than the state average: It stands at 12.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino households in California experience the highest rate of overcrowding, at 20.1%, followed by Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders. In contrast, white households are the least likely to be overcrowded, at 1.7%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuberculosis is more commonly found among those who live doubled and tripled up, said Cuevas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In countries with fewer resources, a bacterial disease like tuberculosis is often considered a death sentence, said Moreno. Mexico, South America, Southeast Asia and Central Europe all grapple with this fear, said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you want to stay in the family, you want to keep your job, you don’t talk about your tuberculosis, even though you’re probably infecting other people,” said Moreno. “That’s something we deal with as we’re doing our investigations, so we don’t always get all their other family members or people at work they’ve exposed,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors with the Monterey County Department of Public Health noted that tuberculosis infections increased in the second half of the decade but dropped from 29 cases in 2018 to just 12 cases in 2019, said Kristy Michie, the assistant director of public health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s in a county with more than 440,000 people,” said Moreno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what factors led or contributed to the decline in tuberculosis in the county, officials from the public health department are stymied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The health department does not have any data or evidence to support theories about why the incidence declined last year,” said Michie. As such, she said, officials are closely monitoring cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Last year was unusual for us, so we do expect to see at least this number or more this year,” said Michie. “If that’s influenced by overcrowding, we can’t say for sure; there’s a lot of things at play there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another bacterial disease, pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can pass more easily among the vulnerable in overcrowded conditions. More individuals became ill with whooping cough in 2019 than in previous years, but Michie said that was expected due to its cyclical pattern that peaks every three to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like a radio wave across time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Local, Low-cost or No-cost Healthcare\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In certain parts of Monterey County, overcrowding and unhealthy living conditions are common, thanks to a lack of affordable housing. That can leave the area’s tens of thousands of farmworkers squeezed into garages and living rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a 2015 fact sheet by researchers at San Diego State University and the Center for Immigrant Integration at the University of Southern California, an estimated 18%, or just under 9,000, of the 49,000 people who live in East Salinas are undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers estimate only about 23% of undocumented immigrants have health insurance, compared with 63% of the U.S.-born population, excluding documented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The group that’s going to face difficulty (getting treatment) are the uninsured,” said Moreno. Specifically, he said, those who didn’t sign up for Covered California, or don’t have Medi-Cal or Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going without health coverage can leave people choosing between a bill and a doctor’s visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children under 18 years of age and adults under 25 are guaranteed medical benefits by the Golden State, regardless of citizenship. However, that could still leave millions of residents without health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, between 2.35 million and 2.6 million undocumented immigrants called California home, research by the Public Policy Institute of California showed. Those numbers account for nearly a quarter of the nation’s undocumented population and 6% of the state’s total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And nearly half have no retirement assets at all, either through an employer or from their own individual accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, which analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey and its 2014 Survey on Income and Program Participation, found these numbers are particularly bad for Latino workers, who are “twice as likely as white workers not to own a retirement savings account or participate in a pension.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11764866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-800x547.png\" alt=\"A majority of California private-sector workers do not have access to a retirement plan.\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-800x547.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-160x109.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-1020x698.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-1200x821.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM.png 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A majority of California private sector workers do not have access to a retirement plan. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the U.C. Berkeley Labor Center)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We’ve known for a while now that California is much worse off than even the national average,” said Nari Rhee, director of the Retirement Security Program at UC Berkeley and author of the report. “But even knowing that, it was pretty shocking to discover that half of California private sector workers basically have no retirement assets to their name. Whether it’s from a former employer or their own individual pension accounts. They just have nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retirement funds — according to the report — have traditionally relied on a “three-legged stool” approach: Social Security, employer-funded pension programs and private savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Social Security funds unlikely to cover the bills, and as more companies move over to \u003cem>employee\u003c/em>-funded 401(k) plans in lieu of pensions, many people are forced to rely more on their private savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the report points out that while families do accumulate assets over time, like home equity, their personal net worth is generally not enough to cover the level of income needed after retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, especially low-income Californians, contributing to any kind of retirement program — employer-provided or not — can be difficult financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to recognize that stagnating and low wages in the state and nationally does make it difficult for people to save for retirement — plus the high housing costs in California,” said Ken Jacobs, chair of the UC Berkeley Labor Center. “So while it’s important that individuals save, we also as a society need to take steps to make it possible for them to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even when workers have employer-provided retirement plans and are able to contribute to them, it can be difficult to determine how to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instance, if you have a completely voluntary plan where you have to go to your employer or to the plan carrier and say, ‘I want to set up an account,’ for low-wage workers, more than half never get around to taking that step,” said Rhee. “The investment menus are very confusing and intimidating, so there are a series of behavioral obstacles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help address these obstacles, California has started its own retirement program. On July 1, it rolled out \u003ca href=\"https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/scib/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalSavers\u003c/a>. Any employer with at least five employees who doesn’t already offer a retirement plan is required to either start one or provide employees with access to CalSavers. Workers would then be automatically enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not a moment too soon.

And nearly half have no retirement assets at all, either through an employer or from their own individual accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, which analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey and its 2014 Survey on Income and Program Participation, found these numbers are particularly bad for Latino workers, who are “twice as likely as white workers not to own a retirement savings account or participate in a pension.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11764866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-800x547.png\" alt=\"A majority of California private-sector workers do not have access to a retirement plan.\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-800x547.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-160x109.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-1020x698.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM-1200x821.png 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Screen-Shot-2019-08-01-at-12.08.25-AM.png 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A majority of California private sector workers do not have access to a retirement plan. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the U.C. Berkeley Labor Center)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We’ve known for a while now that California is much worse off than even the national average,” said Nari Rhee, director of the Retirement Security Program at UC Berkeley and author of the report. “But even knowing that, it was pretty shocking to discover that half of California private sector workers basically have no retirement assets to their name. Whether it’s from a former employer or their own individual pension accounts. They just have nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Retirement funds — according to the report — have traditionally relied on a “three-legged stool” approach: Social Security, employer-funded pension programs and private savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Social Security funds unlikely to cover the bills, and as more companies move over to \u003cem>employee\u003c/em>-funded 401(k) plans in lieu of pensions, many people are forced to rely more on their private savings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the report points out that while families do accumulate assets over time, like home equity, their personal net worth is generally not enough to cover the level of income needed after retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, especially low-income Californians, contributing to any kind of retirement program — employer-provided or not — can be difficult financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to recognize that stagnating and low wages in the state and nationally does make it difficult for people to save for retirement — plus the high housing costs in California,” said Ken Jacobs, chair of the UC Berkeley Labor Center. “So while it’s important that individuals save, we also as a society need to take steps to make it possible for them to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even when workers have employer-provided retirement plans and are able to contribute to them, it can be difficult to determine how to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instance, if you have a completely voluntary plan where you have to go to your employer or to the plan carrier and say, ‘I want to set up an account,’ for low-wage workers, more than half never get around to taking that step,” said Rhee. “The investment menus are very confusing and intimidating, so there are a series of behavioral obstacles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help address these obstacles, California has started its own retirement program. On July 1, it rolled out \u003ca href=\"https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/scib/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalSavers\u003c/a>. Any employer with at least five employees who doesn’t already offer a retirement plan is required to either start one or provide employees with access to CalSavers. Workers would then be automatically enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not a moment too soon. As California’s population continues to age, there has been a marked \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Aging-onto-the-street-Nearly-half-of-older-13668900.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increase in the population\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Aging-onto-the-street-Nearly-half-of-older-13668900.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless seniors \u003c/a>with no safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know we have challenging demographics of aging in California.

An education gap persists, despite rising high school graduation rates and college enrollment, according to experts. Filial duty and other family obligations can eat into finances. As for those who lack legal immigration status, opportunities have become increasingly limited. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And here, in California, the biggest challenge these days is the cost of housing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, saving up and buying property has been one of the main ways that Latino families have built wealth, said Jody Agius Vallejo, a University of Southern California sociologist. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s harder to do these days. While the median household income for Latinos in the U.S. is now over $50,000 a year, it doesn’t get you much in California, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='income-inequality' label='The cost of living in California']\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The high cost of housing in California is something that really threatens economic stability,” Vallejo said. “It’s not just the fact that home ownership costs are high. Even having to pay high rents can prevent people from saving to buy a home.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported last year \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">that Latinos in California have a lower rate of home ownership than in other states where Latinos represent more than 30 percent of the population.

But it seems out of reach. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez said her mom, a first-generation immigrant from Mexico, owns her home, but she’s struggled to make the payments since Perez’s father died about six years ago, so she can’t offer much help. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, Perez said, it’s impossible for them to save any money. Her job doesn’t pay over the summer, and her husband’s hours aren’t steady. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The hours are not the same as they used to be,” Perez said of her husband’s job. “He will work maybe five days out of the week, sometimes four days out of the week.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11760868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38056__DSF3064-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elvira Rodriguez, a volunteer at the food bank, unpacks a box full of orange juice.

Adding to this challenge is the fact that while banking rates for Latinos are gradually improving, according to federal data, many remain unbanked or under-banked. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the federal FDIC\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, 14 percent of Latinos in 2017 did not use banking services. This is especially true among foreign-born, first-generation immigrants.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the second generation, extended-family obligations can be a drag on finances, such as when a parent or other family member needs money for unexpected medical costs or an emergency expense, Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And that makes it more difficult for you to actually meet your own bills,” Alvarez said. “So the next thing you know, you’re late on your credit card bill, or your car loan.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11760880\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11760880 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/RS38054__DSF2931-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cart loaded with fresh vegetables, eggs, and milk at the Downey Food Bank.

They wanted to keep their two teen boys in school there. But in recent years she’s had health problems that have required surgery and kept her from working, she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her husband takes all the work he can, from construction to odd jobs: “If he needs to clean a toilet, he’ll do it,” Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Janette Perez, Downey mother of two']‘Our rent is like $1,375, and our car payment is almost $500, so we can’t afford anything right now.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at times it hasn’t been enough. About three years ago, when the family was hit with medical bills, they lost the apartment they were living in.

It’s cheaper there, and the thought of moving has crossed her mind – often. But her mother and siblings are in the Los Angeles area, which makes her reluctant to leave. As they stick it out in California, Perez said she tries to appreciate what they have. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I told my husband, you know what, at least we have somewhere to live,” Perez said. “There’s a lot of people that don’t even have a house.

While the United States is enjoying the healthiest job market in half a century, the metropolitan El Centro area has what the U.S. Labor Department says is an unemployment rate of 16.2%, the highest in the nation. By comparison, the rate for the country as a whole is 3.6%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people like 57-year-old Graciela Panduro, who lost a job at Walmart two years ago because of poor circulation in her legs, good jobs can be hard to find. “I’m applying everywhere and they always say, ‘Leave us the application over here and we’ll call you.’ But no calls,” Panduro says. She and her adult son — also unemployed — live off the money her husband makes as a handyman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Panduro was standing inside the community center in the little town of Heber, where the county has set up a food bank.

Some of the farmworkers live here; many others cross the border from Mexico a few miles away to work every day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they become too old to work in the fields, however, few jobs are available other than retail and fast food. And even those can be hard to get, says Alba Sanchez, who works for the Imperial Valley Food Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of stores closing down right now,” she says. “Sears closed down.

Bring them here. Bring the jobs here,’ ” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viegas-Walker herself came to El Centro as a young woman after her husband took a job at a local law firm. At first, she was less than thrilled to live in the valley. Today, she says she has become its biggest cheerleader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She likes the small town feel of the city, the fact that she can drive to work in six minutes. Unlike most of California, El Centro is also affordable: A nice house on a palm tree-lined street in the better part of town can be had for about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Viegas-Walker, many local officials argue that the unemployment rate is lower than the Labor Department claims and is skewed by the large number of seasonal workers in the area, many of them coming from the much larger city of Mexicali, Mexico, next door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials also say their efforts to lure new businesses have been hurt by California’s comparatively high minimum wage, which they say has driven some jobs into Arizona and even Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no one disputes that there aren’t enough good jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one thing to have a job. It’s another thing to have a job that pays a [good] wage and has some upward mobility, and certainly that’s where [the Imperial Valley] economy continues to fall short,” says Mike Bracken, chief economist at Development Management Group, which advises local businesses and communities on development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Viegas-Walker acknowledges that people with college degrees tend to leave El Centro for greener pastures.

She decided to cook up a meal of chicken teriyaki and rice and take it to them. It soon became a regular thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Me and my friend fed the homeless one night, and we posted on Facebook, then we asked who was going to take the next night. And from there we’ve just been feeding the homeless every night,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today she heads Spread the Love, a drop-in center where homeless people can spend their afternoons sleeping on cots or just sitting in the air conditioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those stopping by is Henry Lee Poston, who says he has spent much of his life in prison or on the streets. Raised in Oklahoma, he’s never gotten used to the heat in the valley. It makes being homeless that much harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing is it’s too dang hot here,” says Poston. “I have blackouts because of the heat.
