Industrial Rejuvenation
An issue at least partly attributable to globalization, is the Corridor's 26% manufacturing job loss. This staggering decline, from 1990-2004, represented nearly all the decline in California manufacturing and constituted 13% of the national decline during that period. Computer and electronic product manufacturing, a key element of California's past innovation was the largest single segment and constituted 40% of the Corridor's manufacturing recession. The projects listed below were developed to significantly stimulate industrial competitiveness.
