Los Angeles Metro Area Job Market

[_windwaker]

Anyone know what the job market is like for new grads from out of state? I hear it is super saturated but I’m understanding that is the more popular areas?

No chance unless you have connections. And even then, it’s still super saturated. Good luck because a fresh new batch of 15,000 grads are about to hit the job market so the next 8 months will be the toughest time to find a job.

I know a lot of classmates from Cali. Tough market. Pretty much impossible.

A few years back I know some who have resigned to settling down in Central California because they have given up on the hope of ever finding full time employment in Southern California.

I know someone who commutes from OC to San Diego to work once a week per diem at CVS. She works full time in OC in a hospital but needs that extra shift at CVS for the money. Must be miserable to be in that situation.

That sounds like a nightmare commute. I honestly wonder how it’s financially feasible considering the commute costs and time sunk.

The time lost definitely sucks but an 8 hour shift in CA is ~$500+? $350 or so after tax each week? That's like what a tech makes in a week.
