| California Unemployment Holds Steady At Dismal 8.1% |
| 2014-04-21 |
| [BREITBART] In March, according to the Los Angeles Times, the rate was 8.1%. In February, it was exactly the same. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the state only added 11,800 net new jobs in March, many of them in construction, government, education, and health services. The greatest gains were in professional and business services, with 3,100 new positions. But the jobs numbers in hospitality, manufacturing, and leisure dipped, and the biggest drop came in financial activities, as the slowing rate of mortgages forced banks to fire employees. The field of finance lost 2,400 jobs. |

| #6 We added professionals and business jobs, but it looks like we have enough 7-11 clerks and landscapers to and bankers to last us 1,000 years. |

| #2 Remembering, of course, that the numbers do not reflect the long term underemployed and the unemployed who've simply given up, either having applied for disability, retirement, or became an unintentional housespouse. A friend who used to be an untenured philosophy professor, for instance, is now working as a handicapped van driver. |

| #1 Yet the dimwits there will continue to vote for the same party and government that shackles them. |
