around the corner we have beautiful weather for a lot of events happening this weekend. 60s and 70s for the millbrae art and wine festival, all thanks to that system moving in from offshore, and it keeps us nice and mild until monday with 80s in the forecast throughout our inland spots close to the bay and all the way along our coast. we're holding on tight to 60s. but what happens after monday? well, we're going to see a very fast change in the temperatures. triple digits are right around the corner starting on tuesday for our inland spots and the climate prediction center is showing above normal conditions for the next 6 to 10 days, not only in california, but all throughout the west coast. so how is that going to impact us here locally? let's start off in our inland spots, where we do hold on tight to those 80s throughout the holiday weekend. sunnier skies noticeable on monday. and here we go with that heat for tuesday and wednesday will be a hot one. next one for us, next week for us. so we will keep a close eye on that here in the weather center, heading all the way over into the bay now. pockets like oakland over into berkeley 70s. as we dive into this weekend we also feel that warm up to right around the corner as we head into next tuesday and wednesday. we still see

that marine layer holding on tight each day, kind of like you see right behind me over the bay bridge. but we will warm up into the 80s throughout those afternoon hours cooling down a little bit as we head into late next week >liz>the race for the white house came through the bay area today. second gentleman doug emhoff in san francisco for a fundraiser for the harris walls campaign. we also spotted nancy pelosi outside the event earlier. we're told tickets started at $25,000, and with only 67 days until the election, the presidential nominees are carefully crafting their messages. natalie brand reports both sides are hoping to gain support among women on some of the country's hot button issues. former president donald trump is in western pennsylvania working to boost his base in the battleground state. part of his mission is to shore up support from women on issues including ivf and

abortion. he's also facing backlash from some conservative groups about his comments thursday, suggesting florida's six week abortion ban is too restrictive. >they attack him on that. he did away with abortion. no, he did not do away with abortion. he sent it back to the states where it was, where it should be. friday evening, trump speaks to the conservative group moms for liberty, where parental rights are a top concern. >the fact that parents have the fundamental right for complete upbringing of their children and that big tech big government overreach is trying to take that away from parents every day vice president kamala harris is looking to lock in her sizable lead among female voters, and next week, her campaign launches a reproductive freedom bus tour, making more than 50 stops until election day. in her first major interview as a presidential candidate, harris was asked about some of her policy shifts, including on fracking. >no, and i made that clear

on the debate stage in 2020 that i would not ban fracking as vice president. i did not ban fracking as president. i will not ban fracking. harris campaigns in pittsburgh on labor day with president biden, where energy issues are top of mind. >liz>and speaking of labor, governor newsom took time today at his event in san francisco to highlight some of the advances made by the biden-harris administration. when it comes to jobs >just in the last three and a half years, this country has created 14.9 million jobs, which is just an amazing statistic. and if you think that's not amazing, just consider this fact. that's 11 times more 11 times more than the last three republican administrations combined. >liz>still ahead, which presidential hopeful would help our job market the most moving forward? we're talking live with the former director of the edd. stay with us

>>during her interview with cnn vice president kamala harris promised to make the economy her priority on day one. >one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. >liz>now, the latest cbs news poll taken before the dnc shows former president trump has the advantage among likely voters when it comes to the economy. cbs news director of elections and polling anthony salvanto broke down some of those numbers. >now, another big part of this is when we take a look at the issues, because some things in this race, frankly have not changed. and that's where donald trump still has advantages on key things like the economy inflation, the border he leads with voters who list those among their major

factors. on the economy when they see it as a major factor women give harris a little more benefit of the doubt than men do on that issue. she's almost even with donald trump in vote among women there, who listed as a major factor. so if the democrats are going to press the point and try to close that gap, it may well start with women voters there, too. >liz>the latest job numbers ahead of the labor day holiday show the state's unemployment is still relatively low, but it has been rising slowly over the past year. the jobless rate in california stands at 5.2% as of last month that's according to the labor department. this time last year, it was 4.6%. meanwhile, the bay area tech sector continues to see layoffs. san jose based cisco recently announced another round, cutting thousands of jobs. the company says it's shifting its focus to artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. meantime, the u.s. labor department says employers actually added fewer jobs over the past year than

initially reported. the original figure was 2.9 million jobs. the revised number was 2.1 million. now, it's not unusual for the federal government to adjust those numbers, but this is a bigger revision than we've normally seen. despite that, though, the u.s. did add a total of 14 million jobs during president biden's first three years in office. former president trump saw a net loss during her during his term, through the course of the pandemic, though the course of the pandemic had a lot to do with that. worth noting there. joining me now is former ed director michael bernick. thank you so much for being with us on this friday, >live>liz. >>so what impact do you think this election could have on the job market, and would it even make a difference in the market if trump or harris was elected? >live>well, i think one important point is that both during the trump years, the times prior to the pandemic and the years post pandemic, 2022, unemployment has been very low. so during the trump years

unemployment from early 2017 on until the pandemic, of course, hovered around 4%, when even below 4% very low by historic standards, very strong labor market. that changed of course, in march of 2020 with the pandemic but, numbers generally were very low. and in the biden administration since in the post pandemic period 2022 on numbers have been very low. again, 4% or many during many of the months below that. so the economy, the employment was strong in both administrations except for during the pandemic time in terms of what they're saying now, vice president harris has talked about price controls she's talked about housing investment in terms of a specific job strategy she hasn't really put out specifics, we can imagine that there be a continuation of this

emphasis on fiscal policy, the infrastructure reduction act, all that money that went into the economy, particularly for infrastructure the chips act in terms of so-called industrial policy, a strong emphasis on fiscal policy. in contrast to president trump's approach much more market based. >liz>well, it's worth noting now that the state's unemployment rate is still relatively low at 5.2%, but it has been slowly ticking up. do you think that trend is going to continue into the new year? >live>i think it will. we've we've seen it tick up, as you pointed out earlier, from 4.6% a year ago to now, 5.2%, it's the second highest among all states in the nation. and we've seen a slowdown in terms of job growth, particularly in terms of job growth in private sector industries. the main job growth

we've seen in california over the past year has been directly in government or in government related spending, particularly health care. >liz>and we know the tech sector has always been a really volatile industry. it's boom and bust, but it feels like layoffs often come in waves. but so far, this wave seems to only be getting bigger and bigger. it's not breaking yet, does it? so show signs of calming down as we get closer to the end of the year, do you think? >live>well, liz, you're right on both points. the tech sector has always been volatile. good times, bad times, always job creation and destruction what's unusual? the past couple months is that there is expectation that after the huge tech hiring in 2022 and early 2023, we had layoffs in late 2023. in the first part of this year that the layoffs would stop they haven't stopped. we saw just the past couple of weeks, particularly here in the bay area, cisco intel, both major layoffs even apple who never

apple never lays off people announced layoffs now they were minimal. about 100 earlier this week. so yes, it is surprising that the tech layoffs, which were expected to basically slow down have continued to pace. >liz>you know, we talk a lot about job losses, job gains. but what about the slowdown of wage gains and hours worked for many employees what's driving this new trend >live>very important point. and in fact, the wage gain issue is even more important to frankly, most of california workers in the unemployment numbers wage gains have slowed >liz>in >>the past six months. we saw very strong wage gains in the 2021 2022, which were very positive here in california, particularly among lowest wage workers. that slowed and over the past year wages real weekly earnings, have actually only

increased by 0.4%. so, wage gains have slowed. i think that's in some ways more alarming than the unemployment numbers >liz>sure. all right. michael bernick with the former director of the edd, thank you so much for being with us. >live>thank you. >liz>always fun to be with you. well, if you're one of the many americans looking for a job, these days, how do you set yourself apart? we get advice from linkedin on the do's and the definite don'ts >this is picks plus more of what you want more often more local news in the morning and the prime time edition. the only eight and 9 p.m. news with devin feeley, elizabeth cook, juliette goodrich and sara
