Inland Empire Job Growth Continues
Inland Empire job growth increases have topped the state’s average, showing an upward journey for the region. This is extremely great news, especially considering all of the promising projects and developments that are in the works for the Inland Empire. During 2014, California’s job growth numbers reached 2.2 percent, whereas the Inland Empire grew at 2.6 percent during the year.
While the region has not returned to pre-recession peak numbers, they hit promising values. In 2014, the Inland Empire accounted for 1.26 million jobs. In comparison, 2007 numbers show 1.29 million jobs. Expert opinions in combination with these numbers point towards complete job recovery by the end of 2015.
The most notable job gains can be found in the logistics, utility, retail, leisure, and hospitality industries. Alone, the logistics industry, including warehousing and transportation, made up 11 percent of the non-farm employment, with approximately 140,000 employees last year, showing a 4.6 percent industry growth as a whole. The logistic industry is a major asset to the region, as it continues to deliver job gains as the Inland Empire continues its upward journey to economic recovery.
