Defeat of jobs bill in Senate costly to California

Some 200,000 jobless Californians have already lost their unemployment benefits, and that figure is expected to rise to 1.5 million by the end of the year absent an extension from Congress. California's unemployment rate stands at 12.4 percent, among the highest in the nation.

Both of California's senators, Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, voted in favor of the jobs and tax bill. Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, who is running to unseat Boxer in November, said through a spokeswoman that she would have sided with Republicans in blocking the measure.
