California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during a news conference at Carl B. Munck Elementary School, Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2021, in Oakland, Calif. Gov. Newsom announced that California will require its 320,000 teachers and school employees to be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus or submit to weekly COVID-19 testing. The statewide vaccine mandate for K-12 educators comes as schools return from summer break amid growing concerns of the highly contagious delta variant.

There are more reasons for Gavin Newsom to curb his braggadocious tendencies as his mediocre governorship of California is revealed weekly in exposés from multiple news sources. A March 24 piece in the U-T said California ranks dead last for job growth in the U.S. and that the last time that happened was 1993. Soon after, The New York Times reported that “Labor Market Remains Hot As U.S. Adds 303,000 Jobs” and noted there was “another month, another burst of better-than-expected job gains.” Dan Walters of CalMatters and The Associated Press also both reported California has the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
These aren’t opinions or commentary from anti-Newsom pundits. These are inarguable, unspun facts.
