OC – Dead Last in the Jobs Game

Oh how OC has fallen from the mighty we once were. We are dead last in the jobs game. Orange County had the largest decline, 19,100 in positions last year. That was the biggest decline of the 328 largest counties in the U.S, tracked by Bureau of labor Statistics.

This is a shocking reality for a county that not to long ago -second quarter of 2004- that topped the same list as the national champ for job creation. In 2004 homes were appredciating 30%, Ameriquest had the cash and marketing to slap their name on a major league baseball park in Texas, and "The O.C." was one of the hottest shows. Oh how far we have fallen!!
