SUNG WON SOHN


California unemployment rate falls to 5.4% in February

California's unemployment rate has fallen to 5.4% after employers added a surprising 138,100 jobs in February.

California jobless rate dips half-percentage point to 6.5%

California’s unemployment rate dipped a half-percentage point in December as the most populous state added 50,700 nonfarm jobs.

California jobless rate below 7%; 1st time since March 2020

California's unemployment rate has fallen below 7% for the fist time since March of last year at the start of the pandemic.

Start of school year fuels California job growth in August

California's unemployment rate declined slightly in August as the state added 104,300 new jobs for the month.

Anticipating 2021 boom, Q4 GDP revised up slightly to 4.1%

As bad as 2020 was, it's set the nation up for what economists believe will be a very strong rebound. Many project a growth rate of 5% or more in the current quarter or more, with 9% growth the headline in some forecasts. AdFor all of 2021, economists are forecasting the GDP could grow by 6%. That would be the fastest annual GDP growth since the economy expanded 7.2% in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was president. The new report showed consumer spending growing at a 2.4% rate, slightly lower than the 2.5% gain initially estimated.

Fed confronts a shaky US economy that likely needs more help

Fed officials themselves, including Chair Jerome Powell, have sounded a similar message. In mid-March, when the virus first hit hard, the Fed accelerated its bond purchases to try to ease disruptions in the Treasury bond market resulting from the outbreak. The central bank later modified the rationale for its bond purchases by saying they would help support the economy — the same reason it gave during earlier bond purchases that it engineered to bolster the weak recovery from the 2008 financial crisis. In the past, critics have asserted that the Fed's aggressive bond buying risked destabilizing financial markets and triggering runaway inflation. “Fed officials have made it pretty clear they need help from Congress at this point.”

California jobless rate falls with help of temporary jobs

California lost more than 2.6 million jobs in March and April because of the coronavirus. California outperformed the nation as a whole, with its unemployment rate in August falling 2.1 percentage points compared to July while the national rate fell 1.8 percentage points to 8.4%. But compared to August of 2019, California has lost nearly 1.6 million nonfarm jobs. The county's unemployment rate is 16.6%, more than 5 percentage points higher than the statewide average. California's highest county jobless rate — 22.9% — is in Imperial County in the southeastern part of the state, bordering Arizona.

US is expected to report a record-breaking economic plunge

That would be more than triple the previous worst quarterly economic fall, a 10% drop set in 1958. On Thursday, the government will issue its first of three estimates of economic activity, as measured by the gross domestic product, for the April-June quarter. Sohn noted that the economy needed 6 years to regain the ground it had lost in the 2007-2009 Great Recession. Were trying to do everything we can, day by day, to keep the health of our business, Farish said. ___AP Business Writer Joyce M. Rosenberg in New York contributed to this report.

California's unemployment rate nearly tripled to 15.5% in April as the nation's most populous state lost more jobs in one month from the coronavirus than it did during the Great Recession a decade ago, state data released Friday showed. More than two-thirds of those gains were wiped out last month as the state lost 2.3 million jobs. Nationwide, the unemployment rate reached 14.7% as all 50 states plus the District of Columbia reported increased job losses, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But the surge of claims has exhausted the states unemployment trust fund, forcing it to borrow billions of dollars from the federal government.
