Long-Term Economic Impacts of COVID-19
Full Report
Executive Summary
Press Release
Little Hoover Commission to Study the Long-Term Economic Impact of COVID-19
The Little Hoover Commission – America’s only permanent, independent citizens commission working to improve state government – will hold a series of hearings this summer to examine California’s long-term economic and fiscal challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hearings will focus on identifying likely changes, their effect on state government, and how state government can best respond to support those who are impacted.
The first of three hearings will be held on Thursday, June 25, and will seek to address how the pandemic and the resulting economic dislocation will alter California’s economy over the next two to five years. The Commission will assess the potential “new normal” of work and take a look at how both businesses and individuals are economically impacted. The second and third hearings, which will focus on the fiscal impact on state government and the changes in state government organization and policy that are needed in response, will be held throughout the month of July.
All three hearings will be held by Zoom, and will be accessible from the events page on our website: www.lhc.ca.gov/events. Additional information, including witness lists, will be released later.
“The impact of the pandemic is a critical issue facing our state,” said Pedro Nava, Chair of the Little Hoover Commission. “We look forward to providing a platform for robust conversations that will contribute to long-term planning as the state looks to address the lasting economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
About the Little Hoover Commission
The Little Hoover Commission is a bipartisan, independent state oversight agency created in 1962. It is comprised of 13 appointed Commissioners, four of whom are state legislators and nine of whom are public members. Its mission is to investigate state government operations and – through reports, recommendations and legislative proposals – promote efficiency, economy and improved service.

Fact Sheet
Study Description
Agenda
Overview
The Little Hoover Commission is examining the long-term structural changes and challenges that the California economy will face over the next few years in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Preliminary data and projections suggest that the pandemic will have a far deeper impact than any of the other three deep downturns to strike California in the past 30 years – the post-Cold War recession of the early 90s, the dot-com bust of the early 2000s, or most recently the Great Recession. In May 2020, the Department of Finance estimated a budget shortfall of $54.3 billion, $13.4 billion in the current fiscal year and $40.9 billion in the upcoming fiscal year. To put this shortfall into perspective, such an amount represents roughly a third of the state’s General Fund and more than three times the balance of the Rainy Day Fund.
Within this study, the Commission will hold a series of hearings focusing on identifying the likely challenges that California will face, their effect on state government, and how state government can best respond to support those who are impacted.
