The Challenges Facing California’s Businesses

Oh, Those Pesky Weeds! | President's Message | Odds and Ends | Arborist Corner | Protecting our Waterways | Project Enhancement Irrigation | Project Enhancement Summer Color | Rooting in the Root Zone | What is a CLT?

The business climate in California is a significant concern. Respondents to the Orange County Business and Council’s 2003 Issues Survey cited the cost of doing business in California as their top concern. And 39 percent of Orange Country respondents to a small business owner’s survey by Union Bank believe that California has an unfriendly business climate. California businesses are facing worker’s compensation premiums increasing by 30 to 100 percent, unemployment insurance costs increasing, rising energy costs, and significant changes in overtime and family leave programs recently enacted by the legislature and Governor. And with the state budget crisis, consideration is being given to increases in sales and income taxes and a variety of user taxes. According to the Milken Institute, the cost of doing business in California is already 32 percent higher than the national average! (“The indicator”, Orange County Business Council, Spring 2003)
