According to WARN Act filings, and as CBS Sacramento has previously reported, more than 600 jobs have been lost amid mass layoffs and plant closures in the county since early December.

It is expected that another 50 employees will be laid off when another CVS in Vallejo closes.
"It's very telling when you talk about the potential numbers, the secondary and third effects of this. It is cascading with the potential of 2,000 jobs to be lost. I always hope for the best, but like to plan for the worst," said county supervisor Mitch Mashburn. In the presentation, the WDB said it has deployed a rapid response team, engaged the laid-off workers, offered reverse career fairs, realigned county money to support social services and applied for additional funding and grants to help the county continue to step in.
The challenges come as Governor Newsom is currently on a statewide tour touting job growth in 2025 in California.
"Governor Newsom is driving historic, locally-informed economic growth through the California Jobs First initiative, investing nearly $1.6 billion in 2025 across all 13 economic regions and creating tens of thousands of new jobs, sparking business development, and advancing new high-impact projects," a news release from the governor's office states. California's unemployment rate is sitting at 5.5%, which is higher than the national average of 4.4%.
