http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-brown-jobs-20100809,0,4218355.storyDemocratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown quietly unveiled a jobs plan Sunday that calls for creating green-energy jobs, investing in the state's infrastructure and education, increasing manufacturing jobs and improving job-training programs.
"Most new jobs should and will be created in the private sector, but government can play an important role in establishing a favorable climate for job creation," Brown wrote.
The 10-page plan was released with no fanfare on the candidate's website. It details Brown's job-creation achievements while governor and Oakland mayor and as the state's current attorney general.
The bulk of the document and the most detailed proposal is Brown's idea for stimulating the creation of clean-energy jobs, a plan he released earlier this summer. The state should produce 20,000 new megawatts of renewable energy and energy storage while increasing energy efficiency, an effort that will create 500,000 new jobs over the next decade, Brown wrote.
