It is important to understand unemployment figures. The rates vary greatly by education and county. The national unemployment figures vary depending on education, age, sex, race, and other factors. The unemployment rate for employees who only have a high school education is lower than for those who did not graduate high school. The same is true when it comes to college graduates, and onward. For instance, at one point the rate of unemployment for bachelor’s degree workers was 4.5% and 2.1% for those with a professional degree.

Wage Loss Report from Orange County

Sometimes the unemployment rate in Orange County is lower than average, sometimes higher. Mortgage and construction have been dominant forces in the Orange County labor market for sometime, and experience wide fluctuations. Some sources also claim Orange County has has a large tech industry which might account for the job growth. During the recession Orange County had a higher than average unemployment rate which was blamed on the loss of jobs in the construction industry and mortgage banking. I wonder if Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, some of the other Orange County amusement parks, and the South Orange County Beach industry staffed up for the summer. The latest report is there will be fewer visitors to Orange County motels that cater to the amusement park industry because fewer international travelers will be coming. Orange County seems to be a unique job environment. The economy changed with the internet and a lot of people cannot re-tool. Some cannot re-tool because they do not have the education to work in a workplace where computer use, typing, spelling, writing, and reading skills must be on a 2 year college level in order to utilize the internet environment. While a degree from college in the wrong field might not help somebody get a job, it may enable them to learn new things which will allow them to enter employment fields that did not before exist.
