"We are making historic investments to combat rising costs in the state and bring money directly into your pockets to help with everyday costs. Millions of Californians are currently receiving the largest tax refund in history and we're making unprecedented investments in our small businesses to help create thousands of jobs and opportunities for Californians throughout the state."

• The unemployment rate rose by 0.2% to 4.0%, after September's unemployment rate was revised downwards by 0.1% to 3.8%, which established a new record-low rate in California.
• The state outpaced the nation in year-over job growth.
• Eight out of 11 job sectors added jobs – education and health services had the largest gain, followed by professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality.
