OC-LA Has Nation's 4th Largest Job Growth

|

Based on a recent report released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the OC-LA metropolitan area had the 4th largest growth in jobs for the past year. Since March 2011, there were 63,100 new jobs in the OC-LA area. Orange County accounted for 26,400.

The report looked at new jobs created in 372 different metropolitan areas across the US. The top three areas for job growth were:

  • New York-Northern New Jersey with 112,000 jobs
  • Houston with 82,300 jobs
  • Dallas-Forth Worth with 70,000 jobs

Orange County still had an unemployment rate of 8.1% for March of 2012. However, this rate was tied for the third lowest in California.

Riverside/San Bernandino still stuggles with a 12.7% unemployment rate, which is the highest rate for areas with a population of 1 million or more.
