San Diego’s 6-month streak of a falling jobless rate comes to an end
As seen in the San Diego Union-Tribune: Dr. Daniel Enemark, chief economist at the Policy & Innovation Center, provides insight into San Diego County’s labor market following the end of the region’s six-month streak of declining unemployment.
Enemark discusses seasonal changes in employment, the region’s shrinking labor force, and the growing concentration of job growth in the health care and social assistance sector. He notes that while San Diego continues to add jobs, the region’s reliance on a small number of industries and a declining labor force raise broader questions about the strength and diversity of the local economy.
