San Diego with almost 20% unemployment? Yikes!
And it appears Newsom is doubling down on putting the boots to California after escaping the recall... methinks they're going to really regret not tossing him when they had the chance.
PJ Media :
More than half of the 15 U.S. metropolitan areas with the highest August unemployment rates are in California. It’s yet another blue state failure amid the COVID-19 economic recovery being led by red states that chose freedom and data over draconian mandates and anti-science lockdowns.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the El Centro metropolitan area, which sits east of San Diego along the international border, led the nation’s nearly 400 metro areas, with an August unemployment rate of nearly 20 percent, compared to a national unemployment rate of 5.3 percent.
The Yuma metropolitan area, which straddles Arizona and California, had the nation’s second-highest unemployment rate at just over 18 percent.
Third and fourth place also went to California towns: Visalia-Porterville at over 10 percent, and Bakersfield metropolitan at 10 percent.
The sixth and seventh spots on the dubious list were the Merced and the Hanford-Corcoran metropolitan areas, both sitting in the Golden State’s San Joaquin Valley at 9 percent.
The large Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area also made the Top 10 at nearly 9 percent.
Of the 10 highest unemployed locales, all except one part of South Texas sit in blue states.
