December 2022 Closes Out a Year of Consecutive Monthly Job Growth in California

In December 2022, California saw job growth for the fifteenth consecutive month, adding 16,200 jobs and bringing year-over-year job growth to 621,400. The continued job gains were reflected across California's diverse economy as nine of the eleven industry sectors added jobs.

"California continues leading the nation's economy," said Governor Gavin Newsom. "December closed out a year of consecutive monthly job growth in 2022 -- all as the state continues sending unprecedented support to working families with the largest tax refund in California history."
