California’s overall unemployment rate stands at 13.7% and remains above the rate during the Great Recession.

The dropping unemployment rate along with Placer County recently being removed from the state’s Covid-19 watch list offers encouraging news and may suggest that the worst of the crisis may be behind us in both health and economic terms.
