  Manufacturing Employment Data





California loses 103,400 manufacturing jobs over the past year.

The Employment Development Department's unemployment report revealed that California lossed 2,300 manufacturing jobs in October.

600,000 jobs have been lost in the sector since the decline started in Dec. 2000 -- nearly a 32 percent decline.



EDD Press release

  
 






California lags behind all of its western competitor states.

Most western state's manufacturing sector has endured huge job losses, but California's situation is worse.

Costs in the state are 24 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.
