impacts by sector, but the models have inherent limitations. Both models forecast small but positive impacts on California jobs, compared to their Business As Usual (BAU) forecasts. The main driver for these results is the savings to households from lower expenditures on fuel and energy due to energy efficiency measures. The most significant savings arise from the Pavley vehicle emissions regulations, which alone are expected to account for $11 billion in annualized savings for households in the year 2020. The policy brief suggests that addressing the employment impacts of AB 32, California's Global Warming Solutions Act, requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the specific economic sectors and the limitations of the models.
