Los Angeles -- Democratic gubernatorial nominee Kathleen Brown said it is a "tragic irony" that more than one in every ten people is out of work while the rest of
Alpine County celebrates Labor Day.
The newest figures show that July's unemployment rate for Alpine County was 21.2 percent. That is 16.2 percent higher than it was in 1990 when Pete Wilson was running for governor.
"There isn't a corner of the state that has escaped California's economic decline," said Brown, blaming Wilson for "protecting the rich and big business while middle-
class families suffer."
"The situation remains far more grim in some sections of the state," she continued. "Alpine County's middle-class is struggling simply to hold on. That's because we
have a bad situation and no state leadership.
"Rather than show leadership during times of crises to help struggling middle-class families find secure, good-paying, Pete Wilson has raised their taxes, cut their
police and fire services, and imposed fee hikes at our colleges and universities."
Brown pointed out that since Pete Wilson has been in office, 550,000 jobs have been lost and 62,000 businesses have failed. She added that California continues to lag behind the 49 other states in the creation of new payroll jobs.
"Middle-class families need McDonnell-Douglas jobs, not McDonald's hamburger-flipping jobs," said Brown. "Pete Wilson doesn't get it, but I do. That's why I am
developing economic recovery plans that are based on partnerships with the private sector."
Last week, Brown expanded on her previously released economic plan, "Building a New California," by unveiling the first in a series of regional economic strategies
designed to capitalize on the strengths of specific communities.
"Alpine County will not be forgotten in my plans to strengthen economies in all parts of California," said Brown.
