California continues to lead in US unemployment rate
SACRAMENTO: The state of California continues to lead the United States in the number of job losses since the start of this year, reported Xinhua, quoting a report by California’s Employment Development Department on Friday.
The unemployment rate in California, home to around 40 million residents, remained unchanged at 5.3 per cent in April for the third consecutive month, maintaining the highest level in the country.
The report showed that the number of unemployed Californians was 1,027,000 in April – down by 5,900 from the previous month and up 164,700 year on year.
This is the second time in five months the total number of the unemployed has declined. It comes amidst sluggish job growth, with statewide employers adding just 5,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in April, a significant drop from the 18,200 jobs added in March.
According to the report, California’s employment landscape has been particularly bleak across several major sectors. Manufacturing, information, and professional and business services all experienced job losses in the past month, contributing to a less robust job market.

A California town is for sale. Asking price: $6.6 million
In California, a state where single family houses often run for millions of dollars, what amounts to basically an entire city has gone on the market with a price tag of just $6.6 million.
Top Gun Commercial Real Estate has listed a 16-acre property in Campo, Calif., a town that’s about 2 miles from the Mexican border and an hour or so east of San Diego. Included in that listing are 28 buildings that make up the bulk of the town’s properties. Most were built in the 1940s.
Those properties are occupied, too. About 100 residents rent from a single owner who is looking to sell. The Border Patrol also rents a commercial building in the town.
The seller (and townspeople) hope whoever buys Campo does so with revitalization in mind.
“Investors can choose to build to maximize the density of the existing land without altering the town’s current structures, or alternatively, consider a complete redevelopment to modernize and elevate Campo’s profile,” the listing reads. “Campo’s appeal is not limited to its potential for physical transformation but is enhanced by its strategic location. The proximity to San Diego opens a myriad of recreational, cultural, and economic opportunities, making it an attractive proposition for long-term investors looking to make a significant impact.”
Included in the sale are 28 residential properties, which rent for anywhere from $250 per month to $1,600, as well as a church, metal shop, post office, lumber yard and the border patrol building. All totaled, more than 62,000 square feet of property is part of the sale—with monthly rents totaling $44,253 worth of recurring income for the new buyer.
Heck, the town will pay for itself in just 149 months!
Campo was originally established in World War II to house soldiers in case of an invasion, which (of course) never happened.
