Californians Have Lost 100,000 Public Sector Jobs

Hard fiscal times have cost more than 100,000 Californians their federal, state or local government jobs, according to information from the California Employment Development Department, as reported in the Orange County Register.

These job losses include tens of thousands of public school employees, including teachers, counselors, nurses, and educational support professionals.
