1 CALIFORNIA COMPETITIVENESS PROJECT ASSESSMENT OF CALIFORNIA COMPETITIVENESS February 24
2 California Competitiveness Project A Study Conducted by Bain & Company for the California Business Roundtable OVERVIEW Bain and Company, on behalf of the California Business Roundtable, recently completed a rigorous study on the competitive viability of the Golden State s business and regulatory climate. Bain performed the work on a pro-bono basis as part of their 25 th anniversary celebration of their California offices. While the conclusions of this report may not come as a complete surprise, the fact that so many California employers interviewed are not planning expansions or new jobs in the state for the foreseeable future should generate great concern. The goal of the report was to assess both the current state and the anticipated trajectory of California s competitiveness to enable the California Business Roundtable to develop a set of policy and legislative options to improve the state s competitiveness and performance in the years to come. The California Competitiveness Project integrates in depth economic analysis with the viewpoints of key corporate decision makers and policy experts to provide a clearer understanding of the true trajectory of the state s economy and what will improve it. California has always ranked high in worker productivity, concentration of science and technology workers and venture capital money. Yet today, in spite of these attributes, California may not even make it on the list when a company is looking to expand or relocate its operations. Why? Because many Western states -- such as Arizona, Texas and Nevada -- are becoming the preferred locations for companies expanding their operations with new factories and design centers due to those states considerably lower costs and fewer regulatory burdens. While there are several factors that influence California s competitiveness, this analysis focused on areas of most acute concern to executives and decision makers. To determine the impact developed a comprehensive Combined Regulatory Burden Index, which illustrates how the cost, complexity and uncertainty of California s regulatory environment impedes job and economic growth. This report not only clarifies the motivating factors that are driving business out of California, it more importantly articulates a set of priorities that must be considered at a legislative and regulatory level if the state is to keep its place as a beacon for innovation and economic development in the West. California Competitiveness Project: Conducted by Bain & Company for the California Business Roundtable 1
3 KEY FINDINGS In the early 199 s a Time Magazine cover read California: A Tarnished Dream. While the California of the early 199 s managed to rebound rather soundly from the depths of a global recession, many of the burdens that created the crisis remain today. Bain s analysis confirms that California s comparative economic advantage has eroded over the last 2 years. Indeed, California s advantages in economic growth and per capita income growth have declined through this time period. The analysis explored California s current employment base and how it has evolved over the recent past. In 22, 27 percent of California s jobs were in mobile sectors sectors where operations can be relocated to other states or countries. Among the mobile sectors are such important California industries as entertainment, computer software and electronics. Jobs in these mobile sectors (approximately 4 million jobs in 22) are those most at risk of being relocated outside California. Jobs have varying values to the California economy. The analysis used government data to assign a value to each sector. The highest-value sectors included machinery and equipment manufacturing and insurance underwriting. Among the lowest-value sectors are government and retail trade. Since 199, California s job growth has underperformed the national average in many of the higher-value sectors. On the other hand, California s job growth out performance has been concentrated in the low-value state and local government sectors. This deterioration in the value of California s employment base is likely to continue into the future. The mobile/at-risk sectors tend to be high value meaning that those jobs most likely to depart California are those whose absence would be most damaging to the state. Bain s extensive interviews with company decision-makers confirmed the clear-and-presentdanger facing the California economy. Of the mobile sector companies interviewed, 55 percent have plans to move jobs out of California. The problem affects more than just mobile sector companies. Half of all companies interviewed have formal policies proscribing the addition of jobs in California. Perhaps the most dramatic finding of the report is that by closing just half of California s competitiveness gap the state could - without requiring the expenditure of one tax dollar: Add more than 173, additional jobs per year Collect an additional $35 billion in tax revenue over a 1 year period California Competitiveness Project: Conducted by Bain & Company for the California Business Roundtable 2
4 CALIFORNIA HAS LOST ITS COMPETITIVE EDGE OFF-SHORING IS ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM Nearly 4 percent of the California decision-makers participating in the California Competitiveness Project analysis (55 percent of companies in mobile sectors) plan to relocate jobs from California. Most of these companies plan to move to other Western states, with Texas the preferred location for as many companies as India and China combined. Further, 5 percent of the companies interviewed have explicit policies to halt employment growth in California while less than 5 percent of companies have retention policies in place to keep jobs in California. Over Half of Companies in Mobile Sectors Plan to Shift Employment Out of California Offshoring is Only Part of the Problem CA Job Movement (% of companies) Percent of Interview Respondents 1% Move/Add jobs into CA No changes anticipated Move/Add jobs out of CA 1% Other Int'l Canada Asia (other) India Rest of US Other Western States Texas ~6% of planned relocations are to destinations within the U.S. - mostly to other Western states Non-Mobile Sectors Mobile Sectors Job Destination COST OF DOING BUSINESS IS 3 PERCENT MORE IN CALIFORNIA The cost of doing business in California is 3 percent above the Western state average, 6 percentage points of this gap stems from state regulations alone, with regulatory costs 15 percent higher than other Western states Cost of Doing Business in CA ~3% Above Western State Average Relative cost of doing business 1. <.1 19% % 77%.6 15%.16 25% 1.3 California could close half of this gap with impacting current wages. Average of Western States Taxes Electricity Property State Employee costs Regulatory costs California PERCEPTION AMONG EXECUTIVES IS WORSE THAN REPORTED The comprehensive analysis found that a startling 1 percent of senior executives interviewed view the business climate in California less favorably than other states. Bain s research reveals that business as usual is not working in California and that there are distinct areas the State must address to improve the competitiveness and keep high-value jobs in the state. Business leaders were unanimous in their concern that California was hurting their companies competitiveness.

5 TECH BUBBLE MASKED EROSION OF STATE S BUSINESS CLIMATE Bain s analysis reveals that the tech bubble of the late 199 s merely masked the erosion of California s competitiveness and cloaked the impact of policy impediments. According to the California Competitiveness Project, relative growth and personal income have been in decline since the beginning of the 199s. Over the same period the median home price has increased 92 percent. California s Economic Growth Has Been Below Average For Many Years Californians Income Growth Advantage Has Eroded Over Past 2 Years Avg Annual % Change in Per Capita - Variance: CA GSP vs. US GDP (1996 Real dollars).8%.5 Per capita income growth variance (CA vs. US) 3% Median home price variance (CA - US) $15,.3 2 1, , * Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis, Consumer Pricing Index CA s GSP growth has lagged the US rate since 199 *Note: Used median home price in 1975 for 197 due to lack of available data; Median home price in 1975 (CA = $3534; US = $3258; Variance = $276 ) Source: US Census Bureau; Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight; Bureau of Economic Analysis REVERSE GOLD RUSH Since 1997, motion picture production days have plunged in California by slightly more than 6 percent, the study found. Meanwhile, over the same period, they have skyrocketed in Texas by close to 3 percent; Ireland and the U.K. (nearly 4 percent), and Australia, New Zealand and Canada (more than 6 percent). Because location decisions are made with greater frequency in the movie business, this industry should be viewed as a leading indicator of what is likely to happen over time across many of the mobile sectors. Motion Picture Production- the archetypal mobile sector Has Been Rapidly Declining in State for 6 years Motion Picture Production Days and Expenditures (index, 1997=1) CA production days Worldwide expenditures % Change (97-3E) 26% -61% HIGH-VALUE MOBILE JOBS IN JEOPARDY According to the study, which examined the breakdown of industries in the state, the mobile sector jobs account for 27 percent of all the jobs in California. And yet, more than half of the companies in these industries, which include manufacturing, computer software, insurance, transportation, and apparel and textiles are the sectors most likely to be moving jobs to other states. These companies are being driven out by the high costs of doing business in California (3 percent higher than the costs in the average Western state) and the unparalleled degree of regulatory roadblocks. California Competitiveness Project: Conducted by Bain & Company for the California Business Roundtable 4
6 SMALL BUSINESSES HIT THE HARDEST The higher cost of doing business in California hits smaller low-margin companies particularly hard. For example, a typical, small manufacturer, in California with operating income of $2,, would be earning more than a $1 million if it were located in a lower-cost state like Nevada, Georgia or South Carolina. For a low margin business, staying in California requires extraordinary sacrifice -- a sacrifice many decision makers are not willing to make. $2.M Small Manufacturing Company Case Study Example Co's Projected Operating Income ($M) $.2M $.6M Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics; Expert interview; OneSource $1.4M $1.5M $1.8M For a low margin business, staying in CA requires extraordinary sacrifice $1.9M State Regs.

No other state comes close to California on these dimensions. For example in the area of labor law, California enacted 15 statutory changes per year between 1992 and 22. This rate is four times the average for state legislatures nationwide over that same period and three times the average in New York. DECISION MAKERS CONSISTENT ON AREAS OF CONCERN The study found that executives from large and small businesses were consistent in their areas of concern with varying levels of importance. While housing, education and infrastructure contribute to a competitive business climate, companies have more urgent shorter-term issues. The most frequently cited areas of concern centered on workers compensation and regulatory issues.

7 ABOUT THE STUDY The California Competitiveness Project analysis was conducted on a pro-bono basis by Bain & Company as part of their 25 th anniversary celebration of their California offices. The study included in-depth analysis of California s economy, as well as interviews with various policy experts and with senior decision-makers in companies, of varying sizes, doing business in California. Companies interviewed included small businesses with as little as $1.5 million in revenue to as large as $9 billion in revenue. These companies represent more than 95 percent of the state s industry sectors and employ nearly half a million in-state workers. ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE The California Business Roundtable is a non-partisan association comprised of chief executive officers of the state s leading corporations with a combined workforce of more than 7, California employees. Since 1976, the Roundtable has provided essential leadership on highpriority public policy issues and is a compelling advocate for a strong economy and a healthy business climate in California.
