[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]Temecula is in Riverside County and is an exurb of Riverside, the county seat. It is 40+ miles from major job centers in Riverside (its own county), 40-60 miles from SD County job centers, 35-55 miles from Orange County job centers, 40-65 miles from LA County job centers and 50+ miles to San Bernardino County (not sure if any major “job centers” exist in SanBern Co).[/quote]By that logic, wouldn’t Bakerfield and exurb too? Since it doesn’t really have a job center. Temecula actually have more major corporations than Bakersfield, all the while, having 1/3 of the population.[/quote]Bakersfield doesn’t need a “job center” but does have many teaching, govm’t jobs and medical jobs. Like Fresno, it is primarily an agricultural hub. People who are highly trained in high tech jobs, for example, wouldn’t have any reason to move to Bakersfield.
