-
Five of California's 11 industry sectors gained jobs in November with Private Education & Health Services (+13,100) leading the way with significant gains in healthcare-related industry groups.
-
For the ninth consecutive month, Trade, Transportation, & Utilities (+5,700) showed an increase with many of its gains happening in retail, and couriers and messengers, as holiday hiring ramped up and activity increased at California ports.
-
Financial Activities (-4,400) showed the largest month-over reduction due to weakness in the Real Estate and Rental and Leasing subsector as well as in some financial investment-related fields.
1. The nonfarm payroll job numbers come from a federal survey of 80,000 California businesses.
2. The unemployment rate comes from a separate federal survey of 5,100 California households.
