Abstract: The California Employment Development Department (EDD) released their February labor market update for California and its regions this Friday morning. It contains the latest labor market statistics for the Inland Empire (Riverside County and San Bernardino County). There is not much happening since the release of the January report two weeks ago. Employment, the labor force, and the unemployment rate in the state and the region basically remained unchanged, and previous negative trends observed in the logistics industry (transportation, warehousing, wholesale trade) and positive trends in the health and education industry continue.
