California gains 31,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in October Unemployment rate unchanged at 5.5 percent SACRAMENTO – California employers added 31,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in October, and the state’s unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent for the fourth consecutive month, according to data released today by the California Employment Development Department (EDD) from two surveys. With October’s job gains, the state has gained a total of 2,400,300 jobs since the economic expansion began in February 2010. The U.S. unemployment rate decreased 0.1 percentage point in October to 4.9 percent, and employers nationwide added 161,000 nonfarm payroll jobs. In October 2015, California’s unemployment rate was 5.9 percent. The unemployment rate is derived from a federal survey of 5,500 California households. Nonfarm jobs in California totaled 16,586,800 in October, according to a survey of businesses that is larger and less variable statistically. The survey of 58,000 California businesses measures jobs in the economy. The year-over change, October 2015 to October 2016, shows an increase of 389,500 jobs (up 2.4 percent). EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN CALIFORNIA The federal household survey, done with a smaller sample than the survey of employers, shows an increase in the number of employed Californians over both the month and year. It estimates the number of Californians holding jobs in October was 18,369,000, an increase of 91,000 from September, and up 518,000 from the employment total in October of last year. The number of unemployed Californian’s was 1,069,000 in October – down by 2,000 over the month, and down by 59,000 compared with October of last year. (more)
