SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) — California’s unemployment rate has dropped below 12 percent for the first time since August 2009 — another positive sign for the nation’s economy.

The numbers for April released Friday by the state Employment Development Department show the jobless rate at 11.9 percent. That’s the fourth month in a row the jobless rate has declined for the most populated state.

California also showed an increase of about 8,900 payroll jobs for the month.

Nationwide, unemployment rates fell in April in 39 states.

In Los Angeles County, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 12.1 percent in April, down from a revised 12.3 percent in March, the state Employment Development Department reported.

Exactly Really, that’s what I was going to say. What about all us construction workers, and more specifically us superintendents and foremen. How about all the manufacturing jobs, or the high tech jobs? How about any meaningful, well paying jobs other than unionized government and unionized government contracted jobs, including the socialized and unionized medical industry jobs (Obama care). This article is bee ess, fluff for the socialists desperately trying to smooth an angry electorate. WE ARE NOT THAT STUPID, OK?

They always lie about the numbers.Of course the un-employment numbers are closer to 24% or 32% depending on the area you live in.They will tell you that the Fukushima nuclear reactors are not killing us.Or that the amount of radiation we are getting is so low,it’s not harmfull.All radiation is bad,and fukushima is 10x worse than chernobyle.But no one wants the public to know.It’s all about manipulating the public so they don’t freak out.Guess what?It’s way past time to start freaking out.

to create jobs we need to get rid of gas cars ect. and go with electric cars!!!!

Musicman

LMAO! Hmm, are you going to haul a load of lumber to the job site using your electric car? Tools, ladders, cords? How about getting your family of six to the mountains for a camping trip with ice chests, tents, fishing poles and tackle boxes, suitcases, ect. ect.? Your name says it all comrade. Ridicule is the name of the game, right? You need to come back to reality. Sad though, it’s probably too late for you…

Musicman

Really CBS, deleting comments that provide the truth? The comment you deleted, had a link to a USA Today “market” article displaying the true unemployment numbers. Instead, you choose to stand by your AP (all propaganda) article. I’m going to repost the link, are you going to delete my comment as well?

Yeah! It appears we have entered a period of consistently stronger growth, manufacturing output is expanding, and warehouse leasing, as well as business confidence is growing. Corporate profits continue to be a core source of strength for the U.S. economy and corporations are spending more on new technology and new hires, observes the SoCal Office Real Estate Blog. This should reinforce employment growth and bolster consumer confidence.

I advocate buying survival magazine, figuring out how to live in a van for estended time frames, take care of all health matters while you still have health insurance, reduce expenses drive less buy survival supplies, have back up employment arrangements, get your resume ready in case you need to find work soon, have a plan, think of affordable areas, develop saftey networks and support groups
