Economic Outlook. The State's economic recovery, prior budget cuts, and the additional, temporary taxes provided by Proposition 30 have combined to bring California to a promising possible end of a decade of acute budget challenges. The State's job gains continue to outpace the nation, the unemployment rate drops below six percent. Housing and construction are up substantially. California has a diversified and innovative economy. Contributing to the strength of the economy of California and Southern California are strong and well developed technology, manufacturing, entertainment, and tourism sectors. Assuming steady economic growth and restraint in augmenting current program funding levels, there is an improved fiscal outlook in the years ahead. While the State's economic recovery is progressing upward, California community colleges face future risks, and appropriate caution when increasing expenditures must be exercised as we move forward: • Revenues from Proposition 30 are temporary – Proposition 30 established the Education Protection Account (EPA), which receives funding from increased taxes approved by initiative. The sales tax rate increase began in 2013 and lasts through 2016. The income taxes increase began in 2012 and will last through 2018. Unless the tax rate increases are extended at some later date, the State will begin to experience the loss of EPA revenues in fiscal year 2016-2017, and those revenues will be completely gone in fiscal year 2019-2020. • Alternate revenue sources generated by the EPA and dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs) are less reliable that general fund revenues. The California Community College funding system is based on estimated revenues, including student fees and property taxes. The lack of stability in the source of funding makes it difficult to budget, as colleges are not guaranteed that predicted revenues will materialize at the end of the fiscal year. If revenues do not come in at the level expected, the colleges are left with shortfalls in their budgets, which in turn requires colleges to make painful reductions to course offerings or services that affect students. • Recently passed legislation, AB 1469 (2014), set in place a plan to close the $74 billion gap in unfunded California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) liabilities over the next 30 years. The funding plan stipulates that the costs will be shared, with the State paying approximately 20 percent toward the amount unfunded, instructors paying 10 percent...

Economic Outlook.

Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is moderate. The meltdown of the subprime mortgage market coupled with increasing gas prices has led many people to believe that the US is on the cusp of a double dip economic recession.
