Gavin Newsom campaigns in Riverside, warns to prepare for the future

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom did not cheer the growth of logistics jobs in the Inland Empire on Friday, June 30. Instead, he warned, automation is coming to take those jobs, and many others in the state.

“Something big is happening in the world. We’re going from something old to something new,” he warned. “And we have to lean into it.”

And it’s not just logistics jobs or trucking that are in the sights of businesses automating all or part of their businesses for competitive advantage, but other fields, like the food service industry.

“What gets repeated gets replaced,” he said.

Newsom was in Riverside at the second of three planned events featuring likely candidates for governor. The first of the three speakers in the Inland Empire Economic Partnership’s Speaker Series was former Assembly Speaker and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who visited Rancho Cucamonga in April.
