The California AI Unemployment Tracker (CAIT) was updated this week with data through September. While highly-AI exposed unemployment claims fell in September (3-month moving average), after accounting for seasonal declines in unemployment claims that typically occur in September, claims levels were up slightly (by 1.2%) relative to the prior month. capolicylab.org/california-a… #AI #California
Alt text: Infographic from the California Policy Lab titled "The California AI-Unemployment Tracker (CAIT)" with an "UPDATED" banner in the top left corner and the California Policy Lab logo in the top right. The graphic has a blue background with white and dark navy text boxes. The key findings section summarizes the September 2026 update: after accounting for normal seasonal patterns, unemployment claims among California workers in highly AI-exposed jobs rose slightly in September, though this increase is within the range of recent historical fluctuations. Two numbered findings are highlighted with orange circle icons. Finding 1: Using the potential AI exposure measure, high-AI-exposure UI claims fell by about 4.4% (3-month moving average, not seasonally adjusted). Finding 2: Using the observed AI exposure measure, high-AI-exposure UI claims fell by about 9.1% (3-month moving average, not seasonally adjusted). The percentage figures are displayed in yellow text for emphasis.

The vast majority of people experiencing homelessness in LA County had worked in California before they enrolled in homelessness services, according to new research we released yesterday. The research challenges a common misconception that people experiencing homelessness are disconnected from the labor market. It also showed that people who worked earned about 20% of the median income in the county. It also suggests an opportunity to pair homelessness services with workforce programs to help stabilize incomes and housing. CPL released the new findings yesterday at an event co-hosted by Chrysalis, a nonprofit that serves people navigating barriers to the workforce. Read the policy brief: capolicylab.org/employment-a…
Photo shows heading that says: Four out of five people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County had worked before enrolling in homeless services. There is a photo of a middle-aged woman, working at a grocery store, standing in front of a freezer with a clipboard in hand.
