UPDATED: Center for Jobs Report on Regional Employment Growth
The following tables provide an update to the August 2013 analysis of the time required for the State, regions, counties, and legislative districts at the current 12-month growth rate to attain the peak 2007 pre-recession employment levels. Tables 1 and 2 present the current results based on the most recent August 2013 civilian employment levels (not adjusted seasonally).
This analysis is the first in a series of Center papers analyzing the structural and regional differences in California’s economic and jobs growth based on the data series used to develop the Center’s Data Tool. Using total civilian employment as the measure, the analysis identifies which geographic areas of the state have met or exceeded the pre-recession employment peaks in 3rd Quarter 2007. The analysis is performed for the state, regions, counties, and legislative districts.
