California Unemployment rate dropped to 4.5% in October.
San Diego CA. - I reported the other day in a post titled “Southern California Home Buyers are being Duped!”, that California State Unemployment rates were at 5 year lows and that the media was failing to report this great news…
Well I was wrong. The newest figures are out and California Unemployment rates are at 30 year lows!
San Diego County unemployment rates dropped to 3.6%. The San Diego County unemployment rates have NOT been this low since last December, according to the states Employment Development Department. On a seasonally adjusted basis, California ADDED 9,300 Jobs in October and 17,900 Jobs in September. With 5 of the state’s 11 major industries adding workers last month. Why is this not being reported??? Is it because the media has been saying we are either in or heading for a recession for the last 6 years? So what is being reported?
