Before the number dips, it's predicted that California will hit a 12% unemployment rate by the end of the year, according to the University of the Pacific per the SacBee. And that number, currently hovering below 11%, will not gain single-digit status until late 2011, they predict. All in all, the state could be looking at nearly one million lost jobs.
The SacBee has made a map that lets you scroll over each county to see the unemployment rate. On the left, choose a month between January of 2008 and February of 2009. For example, LA County's unemployment rate was 6.2% in a year ago January and was 11% last month.

There's nothing in the sac bee article about this, but how much of the quick down turn can be attributed to the federal extension of unemployment? The quick turn an the extension seem, I could be wrong, to coincide.
I make this point, because a lot of people who could no longer get unemployment benefits and were "lost", were able to get a couple months more of benefits with the extension.
