California’s job growth this year has been strong. Last month, this growth was created by an increase in both residential and commercial building due to lower mortgage rates. Despite rapid growth and increased job openings, California is facing a tight labor market. In June alone, the labor force decreased by nearly 60,000 people which has created economic concerns regarding employers being forced to raise wages in order to fill positions.
