The good news for those of you in search of a job is that the educational and health care industries in California are doing relatively well. The EDD (Employment Development Department) is reporting that 2,100 new jobs are popping up in healthcare and education across the state. If you’re into working with the needy, the sick, or those still schooling, or if your typical haunts on other job boards seem rather empty, this might be a good time to think about a career change.
In less encouraging news, the EDD did point out that May figures for the Californian Unemployment Rate are showing a troubling increase to 11.5%. Unfortunately, it’s looking like California is one of the harder hit states in the country as the average unemployment rate for the US is currently hovering around a somewhat healthier 9.4%.
That’s not to say that no companies in California are hiring though. Google, Sprint, Yahoo and a few other companies all have jobs listed on the Jobnob job boards. So be sure to check out what typical starting salaries for your profession are and see what jobs we have listed for software engineers, marketing professionals, graphic artists or even winemakers. Don’t let the Unemployment Blues get to you. There are still a lot of cool jobs out there, so aim high!
