California’s Unemployment Rate Increases To 9.3 Percent
SACRAMENTO – California’s unemployment rate was 9.3 percent in December, and
nonfarm payroll jobs declined by 78,200 during the month1, according to data released
today by the California Employment Development Department (EDD) from two separate
surveys.
The U.S. unemployment rate also increased in December to 7.2 percent.

This is almost a percent higher then last month. I know other states are hurting real bad as well like RI. I just thought I would but these numbers up here so others could see what us in Cali are going through. I anticipate this going over 10% before it even thinks of getting better.

Prayers, thoughts, and best wishes to all of the family that are unemployed right now. I know how it feels.
