The region's jobless rate rose to the highest level on record last month as companies across the economy shed employees, according to data released Friday by a state agency.

The monthly report from the Employment Development Department showed 9.3 percent of workers without a job in San Diego County, the highest level in data going back to 1990. The state's unemployment rate rose to 11.5 percent, its highest level in 33 years of data that covers the 1982 recession, considered to be the worst since the 1950s.

 

I agree. They are predicting even more layoffs through 2009 here.

 

Foreclosures here are really picking up steam sad to say.
