California Jobs First, formerly known as the California Economic Resilience Fund (CERF), is a $600 million fund created by the State of California to support community investments that promote inclusive economic development and climate resilience.

This data portrait of the Southern Border region is one of seven regional equity profiles developed by the National Equity Atlas to support community and labor groups engaged in the California Jobs First program. It provides data and insights on racial equity, economic inclusivity, and environmental justice. It also demonstrates how local organizations and community advocates can leverage available data to explore equity issues and identify opportunities to address regional disparities.
