IE Job, College and Resources Fair Fills Increased Demand for Workers

The demand for jobs continues to improve in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. There are more jobs in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, according to the State of California Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division (EDD). Between December 2013 and December 2014, non-farm employment added 24,700 jobs to the region; just under 2 percent growth. Cucamonga Christian Fellowship Church helped people in San Bernardino and Riverside counties find a new job or a better job. The church sponsored The Inland Empire Job, College and Resources Fair with 40 local employers on Feb. 26 to help fill full- and part-time positions available in administration, clerical, transportation, customer service, education, financial services, healthcare, nursing, law enforcement, management, manufacturing, non profit, retail, sales and other industries. “Cucamonga Christian Fellowship Church is dedicated to helping our members, family, friends and neighbors heal mind, body and spirit. A good job makes the transition easier,” said Pastor Fraser Venter. The unemployment rate in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario MSA fell to 7.2 percent in December 2014, down from a revised 8.0 percent in November 2014, and below the year-ago estimate of 8.7 percent. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 6.7 percent for California and 5.4 percent for the nation during the same period. The unemployment rate was 7.4 percent for Riverside County and 7.0 percent in San Bernardino County. Between November 2014 and December 2014, non-farm employment grew from 1,285,000 to 1,289,700 jobs, an increase of 4,700 jobs. Agricultural employment added 1,400 jobs. Trade, transportation, and utilities industry sector was boosted by seasonal jobs growth in retail trade (up 2,000 jobs), adding a total of 3,900 jobs. Transportation and warehousing added 1,400 jobs and wholesale trade added an additional 500 jobs to the sector. Utilities saw no job growth over the month. Six other industry sectors saw job growth over the month, most notably in: leisure and hospitality (up 1,100), government (up 1,100), and professional and business services (up 1,000). Job cuts in construction (down 2,500), other services (down 600), and financial activities (down 100) diminished some of the region’s employment gains. “Companies are hiring and we had about 40 employers on site at Cucamonga Christian Fellowship Church,” said Pastor Venter.
