Inland Empire Grows Jobs During 2019

According to recent reporting by the San Bernardino Sun, Southern California’s job market appears poised to the end the year the way it started: with solid growth in most, but not all three, of its major metropolitan areas.

There were 128,800 more jobs in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties in November than there were 12 months ago, the state’s Employment Development Department reported Friday. The growth continues to be centered in the Inland Empire and Los Angeles County, with Orange County still showing tepid numbers.

In the Sun article, Economist Robert Kleinhenz said the state’s job market perked up earlier this year and has not waned.

“These numbers show that the trend is continuing,” Kleinhenz said. “And, we’re not just getting contributions from one or two industries. It’s a little remarkable that, so far into this expansion, we still have this much growth.”
