ORANGE COUNTY JOB GROWTH PREDICTED TO OUPACE NATION'S AND STATE

Economists say employment will grow modestly in 2013 led by construction.  As was just stated in the previous section, construction is on the rise.  Builders are starting to build again and hopefully, there will be financing available not only to the big builders, but to a lot of the smaller ones that were forced out of the market during the housing collapse.  Hopefully, they may be lured back into the market, because it provides more jobs and more choices to the prospective buyer.  California has a higher unemployment rate than the nation at this moment.  However, it is expected to grow at a faster rate as well.  No doubt California was one of the hardest hit states, but California has weather, educated work force, and a diversified economy.
