Derek Kirk, from California's GO-Biz, assured San Jose business leaders at a Chamber of Commerce event that they can thrive despite tough economic conditions. He emphasized California's economic strength, being the fourth-largest economy, even with significant job losses this year. He acknowledged political tensions with the Trump administration but highlighted recent collaborative efforts, including the certification of regional economic development plans, as a positive step towards spurring job growth in the state. Kirk underlined the government's commitment to supporting businesses in adapting to current economic realities.
About a month or two ago, the Trump administration certified all 13 regional plans for economic development in California, bolstering our efforts to develop tailored economic strategies.
We are focused on ensuring that we can help businesses move at the speed of industry, which isn't always the easiest thing to do in California.
