Climate Explorer

<div><p>California is doubling down on efforts to achieve carbon
neutrality and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. While the
impacts vary in different regions of California, every area of the state is
already experiencing climate change impacts. The best available science tells
us that impacts will continue into the future and will include increases in
annual temperatures, changes to precipitation patterns such as longer and more
intense droughts, increases in wildfire areas and severity, sea level rise,
ocean warming, and the spread of invasive species. </p>

<p>The Climate Explorer contains interactive viewers allowing
users to explore predicted changes in temperature and precipitation, sea level
rise and storm severity, and opportunities to implement nature-based solutions,
which are actions that work with and enhance nature to help address societal
challenges on California’s landscapes. </p>

<p>The temperature and precipitation viewer provides access to
a subset of the data developed for the <a href='https://climateassessment.ca.gov/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>4th California Climate

Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), Annual Average

This dataset contains the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), annual averages from 1990 to 2024. 

The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,600 areas, including counties, cities and metropolitan statistical areas. These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that State workforce agencies prepare under agreement with BLS.

Estimates for counties are produced through a building-block approach known as the "Handbook method." This procedure also uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES program, state UI systems, and the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), to create estimates that are adjusted to the statewide measures of employment and unemployment. Estimates for cities are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on inputs from the ACS, annual population estimates, and current UI data.
Current Employment Statistics (CES), Annual Average

This dataset contains annual average CES data for California statewide and areas from 1990 to 2025.

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly surveys are conducted to provide estimates of employment, hours, and earnings based on payroll records of business establishments. The CES survey is based on approximately 119,000 businesses and government agencies representing approximately 629,000 individual worksites throughout the United States.

CES data reflect the number of nonfarm, payroll jobs. It includes the total number of persons on establishment payrolls, employed full- or part-time, who received pay (whether they worked or not) for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. Temporary and intermittent employees are included, as are any employees who are on paid sick leave or on paid holiday. Persons on the payroll of more than one establishment are counted in each establishment. CES data excludes proprietors, self-employed, unpaid family or volunteer workers, farm workers, and household workers. Government employment covers only civilian employees; it excludes uniformed members of the armed services.

Marketing and Outreach Advertising Materials Purchase

On September 30, 2020, AB 323 (Ch. 341, Stats. 2020) was passed and chaptered into law thereby establishing the requirement for DGS to post on its Internet website purchases related to marketing and outreach advertising materials for every state office, officer, department, division, bureau, board, and commission identified in GC 11000, and including the California State University. These purchases must be further disaggregated to show placement of marketing and outreach advertising materials targeting communications with specific ethnic communities including but not limited to Latino, African American, Asian-Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Middle Eastern and LGTBQIA communities as outlined by Public Contract Code 11800-11804.
Recreational Sandy Beach Angler Counts from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) - Monterey and Santa Cruz County

Recreational sandy beach angler counts from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) from 2007 to 2020 in Monterey County and from 2007 to 2008 in Santa Cruz County, and from On Site Angler Surveys, with tidal stage during count, from 2007 to 2008 in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

Instantaneous counts from PAS, and hourly counts from On Site Surveys, of recreational anglers fishing from shore on sandy beaches in Monterey and Santa Curz counties were documented from 2007 to 2020. Counts are separated by site number within each county as established by CDFW California Recreational Fisheries Survey protocols. Counts at each site are further distinguished by whether or not the count occurred during a 4-hour window centered at time of high tide. On site counts were done at the top of each hour during the 10- to 12-hr daylight period, and total number of unique anglers was recorded for each day.

In consideration of population equality, the Commission chose to limit the population deviation as close to zero percent as practicable. Per the California Constitution, the Commission strived to nest two Assembly districts where practicable. However, higher ranking criteria made this difficult in practice. While the size of the Senate districts allowed the Commission to recognize broadly shared interests, these interests did not always overlap exactly with the interests of smaller communities recognized in the related Assembly districts. Based on the large number of people in each district, there were a variety of different interests that were balanced and included.<br /></span></div>
Instantaneous Counts of Recreational Beach Anglers from Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) - Monterey County

Progressive Angler Survey: Instantaneous counts of recreational beach anglers in northern Monterey County from 2007 to 2020.

Excel spreadsheet contains instantaneous counts, using Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) methodology, of recreational surf anglers fishing on sandy beaches from Carmel north to Zmudowski State Beach (northern half of Monterey County). From 1 to 6 four PAS were completed each month from April 2007 to December 2020 (no data October and November 2012). Beginning in 2009, usually four PAS were completed each month, two on weekend/holiday mornings and two on weekday mornings. These were considered "indicator" surveys. Anglers were included in the count if they were arriving at, or leaving from, the site when the observer arrived. The observer remained at each site only long enogh to get an accurate count; during foggy mornings this sometimes necessitated walking the beach. Beginning in 2012, sea surface temperature was recorded (Fahenheit) from the morning of the count, using the reading from the offshore Monterey Bay NOAA buoy. More detailed counts by specifc site for indicator surveys are located in another CDFW data base (PAS counts)

Recreational Fishing Effort Estimates from Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS) - Monterey County

Estimates of recreational fishing effort on Monterey County sandy beaches based on instantaneous angler counts from indicator Progressive Angler Surveys (PAS), April 2009 to December 2020.

Each of the 533 Excel spreadsheets in this database contains instantaneous counts, using Progressive Angler Survey (PAS) methodology, of recreational surf anglers fishing on sandy beaches from Carmel north to Zmudowski State Beach (northern half of Monterey County) from June 2009 to December 2020 (no data October and November 2012). Usually four PAS were completed each month, two on weekend/holiday mornings and two on weekday mornings. These were considered "indicator" surveys. Anglers were included in the count if they were arriving at, or leaving from, the site when the observer arrived. The observer remained at each site only long enough to obtain an accurate count, using binoculars; during foggy mornings this sometimes necessitated walking the beach. The following physical parameters were recorded for each PAS: date; arrival and departure time of observer; general weather conditions; sea surface, air temperature, swell height, swell period, wind speed, and wind direction (these six parameters were based on readings from the offshore Monterey Bay NOAA buoy); time and height of nearest low and high tide; and estimated horizontal visibility. Separate counts were recorded at each of 16 locations; these were generally subdivisions of eight specific, numbered sites as established by CDFW's California Recreational Fisheries Survey.
