platform is waiting to be discovered by the people of
California. Our greatest asset, and the biggest driver of
California innovation, is California's people, and we need
laws that support and enable the people of California.
4)California leads the nation with nearly 1.1 million tech
industry jobs and for each job created in the tech sector,

services sectors across all income groups, including lawyers,
dentists, schoolteachers, cooks, and retail clerks, among many
others. In California, industry and communication technology
related businesses produce $172 billion in revenue.
This resolution, in recognition of the innovation and technology
economy, the month of June shall be proclaimed California
Technology and Innovation Month, a special time for Californians
to celebrate this ever-growing industry that is changing the way
we view communication, health care, transportation, energy,
travel, business, and much more.
