シュワちゃんのカリフォルニア州の失業率、依然高いままとかで、
California unemployment rate reaches 11.2%
Reporting from Los Angeles and Sacramento -- Unemployment in California shot to 11.2% in March, the highest level since the state began keeping records. What's more, the number of people out of work for almost a year rose by 9.4%, and has now doubled in the last 12 months.
１１．２％。過去最高。１年で９．４％伸びた。昨年の２倍に。
California lost 62,100 jobs in March, state officials reported Friday. In all, 637,400 jobs have disappeared in the last year and a total of 727,700 since the economy peaked in July 2007.
３月に６２千人の失業。全体で７２８千人。６３７千人が昨年の失職。
Despite the gloom, last month's loss was much smaller than the 114,000 posted in February, said Howard Roth, chief economist at the California Department of Finance.
とはいえ、２月に１１４千人失職したことを考えると勢いは弱まったか。
"We're losing jobs at a slower rate. That's sort of the first step" toward recovery, he said.
ふんふん。
The dearth of jobs in all sectors of the economy, from Gerwer's high-tech consulting to Vasquez's low-tech drywall hanging is more severe in California than in most of the country because of the state's "greater exposure to the housing downturn and related job losses in construction and finance," said Stephen Levy, chief economist at the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy in Palo Alto.
カリフォルニアはすべてのセクターで他のほとんどの州より厳しい。建設業と金融とそれに関連する雇用比率が高いから。
In addition, California's population continues to grow, and that often worsens the job picture, he said. Many of these new Californians arrive in search of jobs and become "instantly unemployed" when they can't find work because employers are shedding jobs, not creating them, Levy said.
それに、人口が増え続けていて、入ってきた人が求職活動をするがこのご時世で簡単には職が見つからず、即失業者になってしまうということもある。
かなり大変そうですな。しかし、２月より失職者が半分というのは良いニュースでもありますね。簡単には回復しないはずですが、どこかで底打ちはするはずですがね。
