A Hub Portal for High Demand Jobs and Relocation Resources in California

$80,000,000,000 awarded to California for job growing projects from 2009 - 2012 is helping the state pull out of its recently increasing unemployment rates, county by county.

For example, in May 2009, we found only 275,000 job openings for California, Indeed.com and SImplyHired.com being leading aggregators among Internet Job Search Engines and scouring 1,000s of sites that list jobs. The jobs listed in for California were largely Healthcare, Sales, and Management positions in 2009.

Jobs and companies pass out of existance, but new companies and employment fields open up to replace them. The local WIA job Offices are in place to help match unemployed and underemployed workers into jobs and training programs that lead to real jobs. The ARRA money helps that mission reach more people and provide support services and eduction & childcare for their families. green Jobs are a large part of the drive forward for California.

The Green Collar Jobs Act was signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in September '08, to create such jobs under the California Workforce Investment Board and WIA. Look for more green jobs soon.

In looking at the two graphs below, you can see the fluctuating in numbers of job listings in California from Summer 2005 - Fall 2009. The second graph zooms in on June 2008 - February 2010, showing a 17% decrease in job listings overall.

During the first week of March 2010 we found approximately 370,000 open job listings across all Internet sources and not counting the hidden job market. Healthcare positions declined anywhere from 10 - 18% during the same time, but sales positions increased up to nearly 200%.

In the first week of March 2011, jobs listings included 552,400+ open listings.

The second graph above illusgtrated percentage of job growth in Califronia over a number of years. Job growth from July 2009 - January 2011 on the bottom graph reflects percentage of jobs listed during the same months on the graph above it.

We see a general INCREASE in job listings from January 2008 - January 2009 as President Geoge W. Bush was going out of office and from January 2010 - January 2011, President Barack Obama's second year in office, as well as California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's last year in office.

California received 80 Billion+ Dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus package funding. This includes $8.5 Billion for Employment and nearly $12 Billion for Education around the states that will lead to gainful employment long-term for its residents.

Looking more closely at Employment, we find that the allocation fof Adult Employment Services is $500 Million and Older Workers $120 Million. Youth Jobs Services (ages 14 - 24) received $1.2 BILLION. However, the largest pot of money is going to help Dislocated Workers, in the amount of $1.25 BILLION. Healthcare Workforce Development has an additional $500 Million. Other categories of work-related funding make up the remainder of the total.

Under Education, large amounts of money are earmarked to help in the way of Child Care and Head Start and related services that will help adults return to work or success in their first acceptance of long-term gainful employment. The School Lunch Program is also being fortified through the stimulus. Teacher improvement, educational programming, Pell Grant upscaling, and several other projects will provide the impetus toward putting California to work.

Funding for Public Transportation and Health Services will increase the chances of Californians finding and maintaining good jobs permanently. Green intiatives expand those possibilities, as discussed in the films to the right.
