California workers who are unemployed amid coronavirus-linked business shutdowns have grown sharply more pessimistic that they will regain the jobs they had lost due to government mandates, a new study determined.

About 61 percent of the California workers who filed new unemployment claims during the week that ended on July 25 reported that they expected to be recalled by the employers who had laid them off or furloughed them, according to a report prepared by the California Policy Lab at UC Berkeley and UCLA.
