Abstract:This report is one of two for Phase 4 of the Tracking Economic Competitiveness project. This is the Annual Economic competitiveness Metrics report, which presents competitiveness metrics and trends for California’s freight sector. This research supports implementation of the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan (CSFAP) and the California Freight Management Plan (CFMP). This is the second annual performance metrics report. The six year series shows that the California freight sector continues to grow faster than that of the US, and faster than the general economy. Real revenues and employment continue to increase. Self-employment is growing faster than wage employment; self-employment now accounts for 45% of the sector workforce. Payroll per worker has recently increased, but not enough to move past 2015 levels. Significant tightening of the labor market is not yet reflected in wage increases. The trucking sector continues to grow approximately in parity with the comparison states (Arizona, Nevada, Utah). California wages continue to deteriorate relative to average state wage. The beginning of COVID effects are seen in a decline in GDP in 2020 and in the decline in vessel value for the port sector.
