Manufacturing Employment Data California Employment California loses 14,300 manufacturing jobs over the past year. The Employment Development Department's unemployment report revealed that California lossed 18,800 manufacturing jobs in January. 394,000 jobs have been lost in the sector since the decline started in Dec. 2000 -- nearly a 20 percent decline. EDD Press release    California vs. Nation California lags behind nation The U.S. manufacturing sector has endured huge job losses, but California's situation is worse. Costs in the state are 23 percent higher than the national average and contribute to the job gap that leaves more hard-working families in the state without opportunities for upwardly mobile, high-paying careers.
