    Here are the November 2009 figures on unemployment in Los Angeles, from the EDD.

    180,000 jobs were lost in Los Angeles between January and October 2009,  but at least some federal stimulus money will help Angelenos find information about the work that is still available. 

    One company is having a job fair in late January. 

    Lots of people blogging about unemployment;  check out the links!
