The California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) is a cabinet-level California state agency that coordinates workforce programs by overseeing seven major departments, boards and panels that serve California workers and businesses by improving access to employment and training programs, enforcing California labor laws to protect workers and create an even playing field for employers, and administering benefits that include workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, disability insurance and paid family leave. These entities support our mission to provide leadership to protect and improve the well-being of California’s current and future workforce. It was conceived by Governor Gray Davis and was formally created by S.B. 1236 in 2002.[1][2]
