[quote=sdcellar]Yeah, I don’t know where this notion of job loss only (or even primarily) hitting the blue-collar comes from either. I talk to technical recruiters all the time and if anybody’s got their pulse on the San Diego job market, you think it might just be them. They tell me it’s bad out there.
Agree also, jp, that the real issue is job creation. There’s no question that positions are being eliminated. The question that remains is when the positions will come back.[/quote]
Not saying it’s not bad for everyone, I don’t have time to look up the stats right now but for college educated workers the unemployment rate is less than 5% currently, for non-college educated workers it is over 11% in California.
It’s fairly easy to get these stats if you want to look them up.
